So, finally the SBC DSL is up and running. Still considering moving to DSL Extreme or someone more reasonable, or at least different, from SBC.
Haven't gotten any TV service yet. Will probably end up with Dish Network, at some point – for now I'm using Netflix and Greencine for movie rentals. Both of which work remarkably well with the exception of recently released TV/cable shows (like the latest season of Deadwood and Carnivale) and movies that were never released on DVD at all.
No real point in this blog entry, but I fixed a bug in the way my server was set up and testing to be sure it's still working. It was being a cranky with quote characters all of a sudden due to a minor change to ether PHP or mysql or both.
