February 26th, 1999:
Redwood is still enjoying his cable modem. He's happy with his ICQ upload
throughput. His system still seems to be freezing, but at least he's not getting
disconnected "multiple" times a night (the multiple disconnects statement is
immediately followed by a smiley, so it's possible that this was an exaggeration - ed.)
Thanks to his newly reduced ping, he can successfully mount Quake play dates with
his UK clan mates. He has talked to Tim Willits, and gotten to the bottom of this
Tim Willits .plan pulling episode.February 28th, 1999:
Redwood has not had any lockups since the two reported on the 26th. He continues to
be vexed by the instability of winamp, but softens his obvious displeasure with a
well-placed smiley. He has just seen Vampires (on DVD no less) and proceeds to express
absolutely no opinion of it with the following statement: "It was not a horrible
movie but certainly not the greatest."
March 1st, 1999:
Redwood is no longer experiencing lockups or has simply let the matter drop - it is not
mentioned in this update. He has seen Office Space and feels that, while it is
funny, it is not as funny as Something About Mary. He does think that the movie is
required viewing for anyone who works in an office. Apparently, the movie contains
images of a building he is familiar with, which delights him.
