It might be nice if we had a way to dial out from the pumpkin. But that would
at most confirm that one modem was working.

Is there a way to monitor the connections the terminal server is making,
perhaps via a screen on that machine?

The terminal server does not have a screen.

Re #243: Sometimes I think our mail server at work spends more time
sending bounce messages than actual mail.
Re #251: <sarcasm>IVBB the half-dozen people who refuse to use Internet
connections they apparently have anyway to reach Grex expect Grex to
spend lots of money supporting dial-in lines for their use.</sarcasm>

It takes three paid members to support a phone line. This frees up the
internet connection for use by people who prefer to use that.

IABB the song-parody items are proliferating. I'd prefer one item I don't
have time to read to a half-dozen (and growing). :(

Regarding sleep apnea: good luck. It took me over a year from the time I
determined to my own satisfaction that I had sleep apnea needing treatment
to the point where I got the medical community to actually give me the
treatment in question (BiPAP machine). Granted, some of that time was
because I needed surgery to correct a deviated septum before the machine
could be expected to work. Frustrating, but worth it: I sleep much
better now and have more energy.

BiPAP = Bilevel positive airway pressure. Basically, there's a computer in
it that blows harder when it detects that I'm breathing in, and not so hard
when I'm breathign out. A normal CPAP (C = continuous) just blows the same
all the time.
I may yet end up doing something like a tonsil and uvula reduction, just to
lower my pressure, which is pretty high.

A co-worker went on vacation for two weeks, leaving me in charge of her
two tropical fish. They died today, after 3 days.
I gave them the spiral funeral and sent her an e-mail.

I'm extremely bummed because my opera workshop is over, and now I'm all
alone in Bulgaria. I think I've forgotten how to be a solo tourist.
I'm also bummed because this stupid internet cafe doesn't have telnet
available on its computers, so I can't use party. Crapola. This sucks
beyond belief.
Also, I'm experiencing severe cyrillic fatigue. I can hardly wait to
get to a country that uses an alphabet I can read quickly.

I have a neat time picturing tampons up one's nose.
IBB the traffic situation is still bad. Burglaries are up 500% in the
areas where power hasn't been restored. People are being told to treat
the intersections like 4-way stops, but many people are dumbasses and
drive straight through them. I cannot drive without getting hella cranky.

Alarm systems are disabled, making it easier, for one thing.
IBB the State's Saturday-midnight showing of Monty Python & the Holy Grail
isn't until after I leave town (it's the night of the 30th, i think).

You can toggle back and forth between cyrillic and roman alphabets on
computers in Bulgaria...or at least you could when I was there a ridiculously
long time ago. <wanders off in search of the past 4-5 years>
