Comment on Tschunk (a definitive recipe) by John Jolly

this is a great drink, indeed. the difference between an outstanding drink and one of mediocrity i feel depends on the level of attention to the small details. example: using granulated sugar instead of brown sugar due to dissolvability issues/excess molasses flavor, etc. we’ve all seen bartenders muddle mint sprigs and granulated sugar passing them off as mojitos when powdered sugar works far better. re: yerba — have you tasted the yerba maté soft drink Materva by chance?

Both sets are great. I’m really liking the Open CTF set. Good choice of tracks.

As usual, great sets, even if a bit rough. You should link these (and more) off your mix page… But maybe I’m just a podcast whore.

And then there’s Chris Crocker…

I see him on Grindr every now and then because he lives close by… it makes me cringe.

I live in Irvine, and have been using Cox for my Internet connection for over five years. I am quite happy with them. Speeds are amazing, their network is remarkably stable, they peer to many networks. They do block outbound mail on port 25, however, unless you use their SMTP servers.

While Cox residential service issues a dynamic IP address, it almost never changes — unless the device connected to the cable modem changes MAC address, or you move (or do something that causes service/billing to be interrupted). I solve that issue by having my domain’s DNS hosted through a provider that supports dynamic updates. You are able to order additional IP addresses on the residential service. I had three at one point — but they were all dynamic.

I have had clients with Cox Business Internet with multiple, fixed IP addresses. However, the price is much higher for a lower speed, compared to the residential Cable Modem service. This was a few years back, so you should look into it yourself if a fixed IP is absolutely necessary, or you want to host your own mail server at your house.

I have heard from people in my area that use U-Verse. Almost all commented that they have not been pleased with the video quality (only one HD channel may be streamed at a time in your entire home), and the customer service is a bit lacking — particularly if you are asking for anything other than basic tech support.

If you have any questions, send me an e-mail.

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds

I’ve… never had a good transcription from that service.

Though, like that one, I do have some amusing non-sequiturs now I use with friends who’ve left me messages on it.

(My captcha was “control innuendo”, I like that.)
