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…

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

This is what the keyboard on my phone looks like. It is very efficient and easy to use, and I like it. The only time I have an issue is calling into services that require the entry of account names or passwords using an older type of phone, one where the #2 key has ABC, #3 has DEF and so on…
Calling a financial institution tonight proved to be difficult, as it took several attempts to get past the initial call responder before being put on hold for an operator. I was told that if I could enter my account name, then I will be routed to a customer service representative faster than not knowing it. Alternatively, I could enter my social security number. No thanks…
