CABLEVISION SUCKS CABLEVISION SUCKS CABLEVISION SUCKS

: I've complained about these idiot twits before and I'll keep complaining about them until I can get rid of them. The dorks filter port 25 so I can only use their SMTP server to send email from home. It's down. So now I can't send email. My own server is up but I can't use that server. Their answer: Upgrade to a business account and pay $109.95 a month for simple cable modem service. And they argue with you. God, I hate Cablevisision. So let's get this into Google: CABLEVISION SUCKS CABLEVISION SUCKS. CABLEVISION SUCKS. CABLEVISION SUCKS. CABLEVISION SUCKS. CABLEVISION SUCKS. Well, you get the idea.

: I don't believe it. I just finish ranting and the damned cable signal starts going, too. ARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!

Please, bring me ubiquitous wireless broadband. Please, bring me fiber to the door. Please, bring me internet over power lines. Anything but this!

: TRAGIC UPDATE: Verizon announces it is bringing fiber to more doors... but not in New Jersey. Please, Verizon, please!!!

On TV

: I'll be on CNBC's Capitol Report tonight at 7 pm ET. Yes, this is getting to be frequent and that's fun. We're talking about stories that distract during this campaign. Man, we could do an hour on that. But that would be distracting.

: Just got out of the taping. I got into a confrontation with a media mudman. "Hooey," that's the word of the night.

: Back blogging later; headed to a church meeting (yes, they let me in) and then to the couch.

K.I.S.S.

: Connected entertainment won't explode in the home until... you can connect to it.

So it's about f'ing time that the consumer electronics industry got together and did what we poor consumers try to do all the time and make their f'ing gadgets work together. See this WSJ story about the great plug-in.
