Just getting ready to go to sleep. Tomorrow Katrinka flies to the US for six weeks - unless she gets stuck there for four months like last year. So I'll be sleeping alone for six weeks - except for dogette Bandita and guest dogita Bumbu. She's a cute little toy poodle. Her real name in Bumble but that's hard for a lot of Indonesians to say and bumbu is easy. It means spice. They like the name Bumbu. She's with us for five months. Jason arrive January 6 to tak her to his place but he'll probably have to quarantine. Quarantine just went back to a week - in a hotel room you can't leave. I bet he'll bring her back here for visit days. She'll miss Bandi and all the action and people. And she'll miss Katrinka most of all. Like me. - dc

Is it still worth having wired Ethernet connection to home computers as many wireless routers have faster networks connections?
A modern wired connection is 1,000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s). It has no radio interference, no channel saturation. It’s a solid, fast, trouble-free connection. WiFi speeds are total fiction. Typical data speeds with multiple users doing different things at the same time are about half the “maximum” data rate. Advanced features like beam forming and Mu-MIMO tout greatly increased speeds, but if the performance is measured they make virtually no difference. WiFi is subject to radio interference. If you and whichever neighbors happen to be on the same WiFi channel as you are all busy using WiFi, the channel won’t be able to carry all the traffic and will saturate. WiFi will slow, sometimes stopping, then start up again in a minute or so. WiFi works very well in many home environments because its typical performance is greater than most homes need. But if you are interested in performance, you are not interested in WiFi.

This was a birthday song I wrote for myself in 2015. Since it's six years later changed a word in the song and title. Back then that word was 70. Now it's 76. Enjoy Seventy-six Times Around the Sun on Youtube (cause you don't need an app to listen to it there).
