A Mile Long List; A Mile High Pile
I am back in New Zealand and not enjoying the 30 degree celsius difference in temperature. Have a million and one things on my to do list. How does everyone else deal with the seemingly eve-rgrowing "to do" list, especially when completing one item seems to generate two more?
Telstra Broadband and Routers
It seems while I was away our internet connection was forcibly upgraded to a new plan. Seem to get ~450KB/s which is a distinct improvement. (Update: Another speed test site.) Kinda stupid when you can burn a month's traffic allowance in less than half a day though.
Also, can someone help me with a Telstra router question? A few days ago someone posted on Planet NZTech about the newer high speed connections being not entirely compatible with older Telstra-supplied routers. I thought I'd made a note of the post but I appear not to be able to find it. If you know the post I'm referring to could you please flick me an email with the URL to follower at rancidbacon.com--thanks.
Update: Okay, so it turned out I just hadn't looked in the right tab of the right window of the right browser to find I had kept the post about the old Telstra router/cable modem open. :-) So, we have a SB3100 which I guess is worse than the SB4100 mentioned?
Searching and OPML
I tried to search Technorati for the post I was looking for above but didn't have any luck. It did make me wonder if there's a service out there that you can point to a OPML subscription file and say "search for [this] in the last [N] day's posts in these blogs". Anyone know of one?
Or do I have to add that to my to do list as well..?
