Where are you, Google?

Hating slow DNS servers, I’ve been using OpenDNS on my laptop and servers.  I didn’t realize a problem until I tried to connect to the Internet from the iPod Touch.  Turns out Time Warner’s DNS servers had problems.  This isn’t the first time it has happened to me.

The wireless router was quickly re-configured to use Open DNS’s servers (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222), and this solved the problem.

I don’t know what’s better, TWC not finding google, or offering results about google using the YAHOO! powered search…

Estes Park, Colorado – Day 3

Today we went cross country skiing.  The conditions were amazing, and we were the only people up there.  Fresh tracks were nice!

Estes Park, Colorado – Day 1

I’m spending a week in Estes Lake, and hope to post daily pictures.  The drive from the Denver airport was nice.  We’re just settling into the 7,500 foot altitude.
