internet data rates, for the alaska center for the blind.

I got this whilst running the “smartest” download test on Test My . net

download

Your connection is: 305 Kbps or 0.3 Mbps You downloaded at: 37 kB/s You are running: 5 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 27.68 second(s) Member Ident:Username:Guest CompID:63439661296 Test Time:: 2010/01/26 – 1:25am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10 Test ID: 7PE095RZB (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis

I also got these speeds for running an “Smartest” upload test on the same site

Your connection is: 469 Kbps or 0.5 Mbps You uploaded at: 57 kB/s You are running: 8 times faster than 56K and can upload 1 megabyte in 17.96 second(s) Member Ident:Username:Guest CompID:63439661296 Test Time:: 2010/01/26 – 1:29am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10 Test ID: CWUPL1G64 (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis
: Awesome! 20% + : 45.65 % faster than the average for host (gci.net) This was tested from a 748 kB file and took 13.053 seconds to complete

My thoughts

I am going to guess that there was an issue with the “download” “smartest” test as how often is it that the upload speed is faster then the download speed. I will also post our results from home when i get home.

Ke$ha – Take It Off

Bloggers;
I have not written a blog like this in a while. It’s just that i got a new cd last night, and absolutely love it. Thanks itunes a lot. This artist, Ke$ha has a single right now named “Tik Tok”, however, after herring that song i had to get more. Then, i found this song, and to be honest i wouldn’t be surpassed if we start herring “Take it off” on the radio. It’s a good dance song, and trust me, it makes me want to get up and “Take It Off”.

You can listen to the song

here
Please be aware that that link will open the song in a new window.
Anyways, here we go:

Ke$ha – Take It Off

There’s a place downtown
There’s a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall
It’s a dirty free for all

When the dark
Of the night comes around
That’s the time
That the animal comes alive
Looking for
Something wild

And now we lookin’ like pimps
In my gold Trans-Am
Got a water bottle full of whiskey
In my handbag
Got my drunk text on
I’ll regret it in the mornin’
But tonight
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a

There’s a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It’s a hole in the wall
It’s a dirty free for all

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

There’s a place I know
If you’re looking for a show
Where they go hardcore
And there’s glitter on the floor

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

Lose your mind
Lose it now
Lose your clothes
In the crowd
We’re delirious
Tear it down
‘Til the sun comes back around

N-now we’re getting so smashed
Knocking over trash cans
Errybody breakin’ bottles
It’s a filthy hot mess
Gonna get faded
I’m not the designated
Driver so
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a

There’s a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall
It’s a dirty free for all

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

There’s a place I know
If you’re looking for a show.
Where they go hardcore
And there’s glitter on the floor.

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Everybody take it off
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Everybody take it off

Right now, take it off
Right now, take it off
Right now, take it off
Ohh
Right now, take it off
Right now, take it off
Right now, take it off

Everybody take it off

There’s a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall
It’s a dirty free for all

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

There’s a place I know
If you’re looking for a show
Where they go hardcore
And there’s glitter on the floor

And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off

new years resolutions and a general life update

good day;
it’s been a while since the last time I wrote a blog, so I thought I would go ahead and write one, update you guys all on everything that’s been going on, as well as to just say In effect, not a lot has happened lately. I do have to admit though, you last night, I had the chance to go ahead and feel the baby kicking for the first time. Sabrina, claims it was quite active, and yes I have to admit that I could believe that. It’s exciting, yet scary at the same time. I know a lot of people do it, but I’m sure it might get easier after time. Am I scared? Yes. However, I feel i’ll be able to be a good dad, at least that’s what a lot of people tell me.
it’s a new year, new resolutions are in order. did I keep any of my 2009 resolutions? Well, I think I did. Though I’m not quite sure, if I even made any. It’s possible that I didn’t. However, this year I do know that I have a few. Whether or not I’ll go ahead and keep those, I’m not quite sure, however, I will sure as hell try my best.
The first of which has to be of course, being a good dad. I know that this is something that will be an ongoing resolution for me probably, for the rest of my life. However, let’s go ahead and start 2010 with a wonderful resolution. I., Michael Babcock, resolved to be an excellent father for the child to be.
and, my second resolution, will be what everyone else tends to make a resolution of. And the likelihood of me keeping it, I have to admit, it’s very likely. I resolved to lose approximately 20 pounds by the end of the year. Not that much weight, but it’s something that I think I might be able to do. Running around with the new kid might make it even easier.
The third and final resolution to have the 2010, is to be able to become more financially stable. Though, my financial situation isn’t too terribly bad, it can’t hurt to have more financial stability in my life. 2010, will be the year of finances. Or, at least that’s what I hope.
So there’s a few news resolutions that I need to go ahead and keep. Whether or not i’ll be able to do that, I guess time will see. I really need to learn to update my blog more often, as that would eliminate the purpose of me doing quite lengthy blog entries. Is it bad that I’d rather dictate my blogs now and type them? I don’t think so, I have the software, so why not use it?
I have one more resolution. It goes along with my third resolution of bringing financial stability in my lifehowever, it is slightly unrelated. I., for the fourth resolution of 2010, resolved to find myself a stable job. See, a kind of ties into the fair resolution of becoming financially stable in the year 2010. But, it’s still different.
Well bloggers, I think that’s it for now. Please, leave your comments on the blog and or on Facebook, and I’ll be sure to reply to please most of you.
tell me, in your comments, what are your New Year’s resolutions?
with my best regards
sincerely
Michael A. Babcock.
Mike — – — – — – out
