Saturday Morning Speed Test

My internet seems so much faster the mornings so I thought I would do a speed test today. Currently my download speed is .75Mbps and the upload is .06Mbps. Today's speed is more than twice as fast as the speed in the evening. My internet has always seemed faster in the moring hours.

Browser

I am now using the Mozilla Firefox browser. I can't really see any difference except that the favorites in Explorer are bookmarks in Mozilla. Reports say the Firefox is less likely than Explorer to harbor viruses. A browser is the program that one uses to access the Internet. The most popular browser is Explorer 8.0 followed by Firefox then Chrome and fourth is Safari. The term browser war refers to the fact that software companies want the best or at least the most popular browser in order to gain revenue from advertisers.

Internet Speed Test.

It's Monday night 11:15pm. My download speed is .33Mbps and my upload speed .07Mbps. I have Wild Blue internet through Dish Network. I thought my connection speed was supposed to be 156Mpbs. The only alternative to satellite internet is dial-up which is about 7Kbs. I would never get anything completed with that kind of speed. I pay $80 a month and when that's combined with my Dish Network bill I pay around $175 a month depending on how many pay per views I watch a month. I guess I have been getting taken for months now. This doesn't make me any happier than I was earlier.

Syllabus.

Just so you know, I have read the syllabus, made a Gmail account and started this blog. I hope the purpose of the use of this blog becomes more apparent soon. I think I could use this by of medium for my high school students, but I am not sure how to implement it yet. I am having students send writings through emails currently.

Me Again.

So, I used my name the first time but my wife convinced me to make a non-descript name on my new blog and email. I am naive about such things.

Hello World.

I don't really even know what I am doing. I have tried to keep myself off the internet entirely. But, now here I am for the whole world to see as part of this master's course. I can't say that I am happy about it. I liked being unknown. I am a very private person and this hurts me to be here. Notice the black?
