Goodbye AOL, Hello BT Broadband

So the AOL broadband equipment (a modem and software) arrived, confusing me
because no engineer had come to "switch on" broadband at the house. Silly me –
unlike ISDN, I learned no special installation is needed aside from a special
phone adaptor/filter to go in the jack. Hey, you laugh but no one’s had wired
broadband out here! But AOL also said I needed to use its software to get
online. No thanks. I suspect there’s probably a way to connect even without
having the software up-and-running, but I shifted over to using BT broadband
instead. So far, rock solid.

Thinking of dropping your link spam? Consider this. Seriously, STOP & READ. The guy who runs Google's spam fighting team? I know him pretty well. In fact, it's sort of a joke between us to see what's the latest absurd link drop I can share. So if you want your site to be a poster child on his idiots wall -- and probably to encounter a Google penalty -- go ahead, drop your link. It's nofollow anyway, plus I do have built-in spam fighting and what gets past that usually gets nabbed in a few minutes to a few hours. So you got to ask yourself. Are you feeling lucky?
