One of Cox's tech's called me up a couple of days ago to see if I used
their update package yet. I told them that I don't run Windows or
Mac[0], just *nix. He said that it would be alright but static IPs are
going bye-bye, cuz it's all DHCP here on out. Okay, so how long does
your average IP address last? He told me that with Cox's new DHCP set
up, IP addressen will have a shelf life of 4 hours. So much for having
a website up through Cox[1]. I'm doing DSL when I get the chance.

Anybody wanna buy a cable modem? Cheap? :)

[1]Which, I'm sure, was their intention.
