I used to play Word games on My Blackberry without a problem and I am convinced that the backlit screen plays Havoc with sleep sensitive people. Too bad because I love the iPad but tonight it will not be turned on . Sleep deprivation is a killer. Back to my crossword puzzle books in the evening. So much for the fun!!

]]> Comment on Comcast bandwidth meter available everywhere. by dan http://blog.ctnews.com/oconnell/2010/04/02/comcast-bandwidth-meter-available-everywhere/#comment-2105 dan Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:44:51 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/oconnell/?p=589#comment-2105 The cap is crap. Why can't comcast reinvest into their infrastructure. Now the 250gb cap was reasonable a few years ago, but is still larger than most. Technology moves very fast and norm data sizes change accordingly. Think back 5 years and remember when a 80gb hdd was large? Now 250gb is barely enough. I never came close to the data cap, but the last few months I've been coming within 10gb. I don't want to get shut off, or charged. So I stop most internet activities. Now back to Comcast. They really do need to increase the limits. As much as they should avoid reaming the customer every six months. The cap is crap. Why can’t comcast reinvest into their infrastructure.

]]> Comment on Waist not, want not: Marked waist sizes a lie? by Dick Jones http://blog.ctnews.com/oconnell/2010/09/10/waist-not-want-not-marked-waist-sizes-a-lie/#comment-1516 Dick Jones Sun, 12 Dec 2010 00:58:13 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/oconnell/?p=1341#comment-1516 I've noticed this since I've been cycling and I've been buying jeans to fit my new waist size. I was dead chuffed to get back into a pair of 28 inch levis, but surprised to find they're a looser fit round the waist than a pair of 30 inch wranglers. I'm wondering what to do about underpants as my newer pairs are too loose while my older pairs (same brand and ostensibly the same size) are OK. By rights it should be the other way round as the elastic goes, so it looks like they're into vanity sizing too.
