Going faster!
My internet speed has been... well, it still can reach its top speed, but it takes a while to get there. Or at least, that's how it was up until today. I bookmarked the address of my cable modem, because it shows some interesting data, like a list of all the channels it's using and their respective Signal to noise ratios, power levels, and corrected and uncorrected errors. There's not much you can DO with that data. I was considering calling customer service, but getting past a bot so someone who can understand what I mean when I say "Every channel above 39 is very degraded" would be unlikely.
But I guess that telemetry is available to them too. When today's shows downloaded in less than a minute and a half, I knew something was up. I checked the modem, and it was using a much lower range of channels, and they all had fantastic s/n ratios. SpeedTest jumped almost immediately to 350 mb/sec, instead of taking half the test to get there. So I'm pleased.
I've mentioned my Substack, where I've been moving some of my writing and posts about writing from Wordpress. It has been somewhat less than stellar. In fact, the lowest ranking of all my posts are the first three chapters of my WIP. But if there's one thing Substack loves, it's Memes. I made a post of about a dozen of the latest memes that I've made myself, and it BLEW UP. In under 24 hours it's gotten ten times the views of the average week. And about ten times the likes of the best day.
And since I've got so much free time on my hands, my last Amazon order included an Ardruino Uno R3 board starter kit, and a 37 additional sensor kit.
Of course, I still haven't finished figuring out the proper compile for my Ender with the Big Tree Tech board in it to implement the MicroTouch sensor. That's been sitting for too long.
