A pet peeve

my internet connection
has an inactivity timer
in order to disconnect
idle users

unlike AOL's this is designed
to actually track packets
and see if data is
being transmitted

like AOL's it doesn't work

I can leave my phone
dialed in all day long
and when I come home
it will still be connected
but
without fail
within 5 minutes
of me actually using
the net

it will disconnect me

it really pisses me off
because I then have to
walk over to my proxy server
and reestablish the connection

Of course
if I rebuilt my proxy server
as a win2k box
as I have been meaning to
for months
this wouldn't be a problem

I paid to run fiber to and through my house
when I built it
why it isnt connected

do you want me to torch an executive's house to help grease the wheels?

would you?

that would be sweet
and tell you what
in exchange
I will
stop poisoning
the water supply
in the state of ohio

I was wondering where that strange 'tingly' feeling's been coming from recently. And here I thought we were friends...
