The last stand of the … 301 - Or Bush vs Iran |
Digg This !

We’ve all heard of the movie 300. Some of us even liked it. I, personnaly, saw it twice in the week it came out, on an imax screen, and already a few times on DVD. Visually, it’s one of the most amazing things I’ve seen on a screen.

I installed wordpress on this domain 28 days ago.
Since then, I managed to post on average one post every day, received about 20 comments and pingbacks (ok, 80% of comments are from my friend Michael), posted about politics, religion, business, and any thought that crossed my mind, used my Tumblr as a “receptacle” for all my feeds, … I actually managed to do exactly what I expected and understood by myself what the difference between blogging and micro-blogging.

I’ve been reading all the posts since yesterday regarding the new TWC pricing structure plans (and tests in Texas).
TWC new idea is to charge the 5% heavy downloaders (could you please define ?) more than the average 95% other users. Those 5% apparently accrue for around 50% of total bandwidth of TWC broadband access.
