Monkey Brains

We're moving into our newish building and there is no good internet access here without digging up sidewalks. So we signed up with MonkeyBrains. They put a dish on the roof, and luckily we are line-of-sight to one of their places. 370 mbps is some radical modulation and technology in a cheap microwave link. We're paying for 50/50 mbits. We were getting 30/0.8 over a classic twisted pair from the phone company. This is pretty cool. I specuate that in 10 years or so, *everything* will be wireless, 5G meshes or something. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc picosecond timing precision measurement jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com

Oh horror. Will they at least salvage the elevator so it can be used or displayed elsewhere? That is truly a piece of technical history.

RF is the ticket into the future.

Or not. I do not own a smart phone and, right now, can't see enough advantages to having one.

I have 6Mbits/sec max download here and rarely use that. Video conferecing can demand up to 1.5Mbits/sec but that's about it.

To me what's human is what I did yesterday. Rode the mountain bike on the El Dorado Trail. Stopped for a beer, of course. Met some horses. Ate wild blackberries. Unfortunately one of my riding buddies crashed but didn't get hurt badly and we could fix the damage to his bike on the trail.
