Network Upgrade

Tags: ,

I just recently upgraded my home network.  First, I rebuilt the Linux box that does my firewalling, QoS, port forwarding, etc.  It was a very old install of Slackware (still running a v2.4 kernel).  It was the only non-Gentoo box that I have anywhere so I decided to spend some time and upgrade it.

Then this morning, I had Mediacom come out and upgrade me to their latest and greatest: Mediacom Max.  This is a 10mbit down/1mbit up service.  Apparently it is fairly new, as I had just recently read about it being available on dslreports forum.  The speeds are excellent, as this bandwidth test shows:

Zope and Plone

Tags: ,

Wow, Zope is badass. I’ve been playing with Plone lately over at my other site and I think I’m in love. I might end up upgrading this site to Plone once I’m more familar with it. I haven’t really set out to learn Python yet, but I really like what I’ve seen so far.
