Timewarner slows down youtube and censor all information about it

I switched from AT&T to Timewarner for my Internet connection at home. Yes, AT&T is very slow in my area and any upgrade is terribly expensive. This whole week, I was browsing YouTube and it was painfully slow. I know that YouTube is not slow, it's Timewarner that is throttling. This is not news. But! I know that google has a page that tells you how it's not their fault, it's the ISP. Well, you can't access this page on Timewarner.

Time warner censor

Timewarner says this page does not exist.

Yes, Timewarner says this page does not exist. In a hurry, I didn't want to setup a proxy. I just went straight to anonymouse.org and typed the same URL. This is what I got.

Page exists

From anonymouse.org

Page exists

The rest of the internet says this page does exist.

This is messed up. Not only they slow down your Internet, but they make sure they censor the information that says they are doing it.

Timewarner, You suck!

Wait, wait! I'm not done. Here is the real problem. In my apartment, I have the option of Timewarner or AT&T. That's it! I can't go back to AT&T. No one can go back to 1.5mbps for $40. So I am stuck with Timewarner. I can't even vote with my dollar.

Timewarner, you suck!

PS: Who knows, maybe you can't even read this page if you are on timewarner.

HackerNews off course discussions

HackerNews off course discussions

A week and a half ago I found fraudulent transactions on my credit card. Linode was the only place where I used it, and with the recent incident they had I naturally assumed it was stolen from them. I called my card company and canceled it immediately. Then I wrote a post on hackernews urging people to cancel the cards. For some reason not everyone was happy with that.

Employee or contractor, you are your own boss. Act like it

Employee or contractor, you are your own boss. Act like it

Being your own boss is a little overrated. At least in the sense that you have your own company and get to do whatever you want. If you have a successful business then you know that that's not how it works. You work longer hours, you make tough decisions, (like firing people), you have to deal with customers directly and do many more stressful things. But I am not writing this to tell you how to handle your small business. This is about being your own boss at while being an employee.

What's your excuse

What's your excuse

I want to do so many things yet everyday I come up with a perfect excuse to sit on my behind. When I think about those excuses after the fact, they are ridiculous and I am filled with regret. There is plenty of time in a day to do all my little tasks. So today I want to permanently write them down so I can indefinitely label them as non sense.
