Computers vs Travel this week
It was a bad week for computers. During the F2F I was doing battle with a difficult Lotus Notes. It was in the mood to hang, vanish into never never land, and become as slow as refrigerated molasses. Repeated kills and reboots were needed. I don't know why it had problems. Lotus Notes sucks big time. I never did get it to work from the hotel, which is odd. Usually that same hotel has better speeds than RSNA. For regular web browsing the hotel worked OK.
When I got home the Internet was out. Come morning I saw Verizon out working down the street. Apparently a truck tore up the FIOS cable bundle on Friday. The Verizon crews were there until late Saturday night. They had to clear the mangled cable, put in a new cable, and then splice the cables. They said it was 144 fibers to be spliced in that cable.
