Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Ice

So this Spanish g
uy
has a theory that i
ncreased a
tmospheric flu
ctuations due to global warming are responsible for an increase
in the
frequency a
nd mass of random falling blocks of ice. These megacryometeors can weigh 10-20 Kgs and fall out of apparently clear skies. I was pretty equanimous about all this, and then I read this happy thought

And great (excessively oppressive) hailstones, as heavy as a talent [between fifty and sixty pounds], of immense size, fell from the sky on the people; and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail, so very great was [the torture] of that plague.(1)

So I plugged in the DSL router thingy and instantly got 1400/680 connection speeds from the naffly named Cyberonic, a WorldCom reseller. This is incredible! Twice as much porn! Twice as many MP3s! Now I just have to work on setting up the web server again. I just hope that this little bit of WorldCom (the old and venerable UUNet) stays running through their bankruptcy. This is the best upload cheap deal I could find: $50/$40 per month for 1500/768 and one static IP. Of course, through DynDNS I could manage www.meehawl.com with a dynamic IP, but the static one came free! I am actually getting slightly more than the average WorldCom speeds, but their results still pale compared with Optonline’s 3500/850.
