I am loving this cell phone modem thing. I am on a bus to New York. we are going to to see what is happening for Chinese New Year. I really need to find out which set of minutes the dialup comes out of. We are a little worried about the weather. It is supposed to snow tonight in DC, but I think we will be back before the worst of it,

Geek time

Got the monitor on my newer mini-itx to come up with suse 9.0 and something bigger than 640×480.
I also upgrade the firewall on the other mini-itx to the latest and greatest version. So a general successful morning.

I got a package this morning, well I got the note in my mailbox saying there was a package. Hung around for 10 minutes no sign of anyone wanting to opent he mail room and give me my package so I drove to work.

I am on the Marc Train going from Baltimore to DC. I didn’t think I brought the USB cable for my phone but I pulled out my laptop bag and their it was. So I get to post an journal entry from the train as it takes me to DC. Technology is cool when it works.

Is this really true?
I am looking at the m tag page and I see

(Plan 1) Baltimore Region Commuter Plan: (Fort McHenry Tunnel, Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, Francis Scott Key Bridge, John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway and Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge) Pay $20 for 50 trips that are valid for 60 days. Because tolls are collected only in one direction at the JFK Highway and Hatem Memorial Bridge, two trips are deducted for each passage.

That would mean that it is .40 a journey through the tunnel. So if I make 5 trips in 60 days I break even. I am not quite sure how I missed this when I enrolled.
