Broadband ! Load us up..
The much awaited ADSL connection comes... And I am banned from freenode.net :( boooohooooo mummmmieeeeee. Not bad a speed (but not close to the AT&T stuff I used to see at IBM). But then you have UDP (I guess so - from the advertisement with online games being mentioned). What more when you have your bed close to you ? You can drop asleep whenever you want (dont have to ride back home before that).
Am pretty much excited about all the configuration to be done. I've already put up a small firewall with IP tables... the rules need a lot more of work. It was simpler at office (IBM I meant) with a couple of servers to be put as proxies.. Let us see..
Got Google talk working. If you are wondering what to 'get working' in g-talk well actually it did not work with gaim. Had to use bitlbee login to port 5222, fail, login using 5223 work and then back with Gaim and it works.. funny.
Distupgrade ? Well its going to have to wait... "Operational readiness testing" (tm) to be done before the ceremony.
