- Been sick since I came back from an event last Friday
- Got turned down for yet another job. This one got to me in particular though because the only reason they rejected me was because my portfolio wasn't professional enough
- It's really cold in the house and the weather outside is gross
+ Hey, it was my birthday and stuff which is cool. My mom prepared some of my favourite things for dinner. Food is always the best thing.

Aw, shucks! Do you know now how to alter it so future employers won't say the same? I know this kind of stuff can be very frustrating and unfair sometimes.

- Can't use the RPC properly because of some kind of random graphics glitch (probably on my side). I have to find the buttons which appear to be still clickable, but just invisible to me, by memory and intuition. Bleh.

+ I have home-made pizza to accompany me. :mryellow:
+ Probably going out tonight to see Monsters U.

Welcome back, man!
In fairness, I couldn't remember you, the last time you posted here was before my arrival, though perhaps I might have seen you when I was skulking as a non member, given the amount of time I actually did that.

How fast? 50MBit/s? 100MBit/s? 200MBit/s? Or did your provide count in KBit/s? It's actaully a little difference if a providers promise 50MBit/s or 50000KBit/s : 50MBit/s are actually 51200KBit/s if I am not wrong.

Although for us up to 150MBit/s is possible but it would be uneccessairy expensive and pretty much useless. The ping won't improve and still most sites doesn't offer super fast traffic. On many sites I do just archieve maybe about 3MB/s. While Steam for example can make it up to 6MB/s.

I believe it will be 30Mbps for now, and later we might consider the 200.

30MBit/s is cool. Will you post a speedtest result when the new connection is set up?

My internet speeds vary between either 120 MB/s or 20 kB/s. Nothing inbetween, generally. Seriously, dis provider, man.

What can we do already? Our varies sometimes on very bad days between 10 and 50MBit/s. Although here's a recent test result: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/589646253
