I just learned about 95th percentile bandwidth measurement. Since I’m not hidden behind your typical ISP or telco service any more, I’m going to start seeing some of the real effects of providing bandwidth, and what it takes to make it economically feasible. Old hat for ISPs, I know, but I’ve paid flat rate ISP fees for so long, I’ve never seen anything else. MRTG is making this very nice to keep an eye on.
I’m a software engineer and piano technician in Fort Collins, Colorado. I’ve had a nomadic existence in the software industry which you might be able to tell from my resume.
My old home page at http://www.verinet.com/~jbm and http://www.frii.com/~jbm (after Front Range Internet bought Verinet) had some stuff that stayed relatively static, mostly related to some old BeOS development I did. I’m pulling that stuff into an entry linked from the main page to let Movable Type archive it.
My brother Tom has a web page.
My Dad likes to keep a running journal of the books he’s read. Not as literary commentary, but as reminders to himself! Which may sound funny, but you know, I couldn’t tell you the plot of half the books sitting on my bookshelf…
I paddle a kayak around for exercise, originally because my knees are shot, but it’s actually much more pleasant than the jogging/biking I was doing before.
I play mostly classical music on my restored Chickering & Sons grand piano. Most recently I’m working on the first movement of the Scriabin 2nd Piano Sonata. I also poke about on my Chapman Stick. Learning has gone slowly. It’s a cool instrument though, mine’s a 10-String XG, tuned Deep Baritone Melody because I love the low range overlapped with the left hand, and the ACTV-2 goes down real smooth.
