Michael Jackson died

Florian Jensen — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:00:12 +0000

A few minutes ago, the press confirmed that Michael Jackson died at the age of 50.

A legend, and truly original artist has left us.

The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A. Paramedics then found him without a pulse, and weren’t able to revive him.

One of the staff members at Jackson’s home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Death Confirmed by: TMZ; LA Times; AP

Update: The BBC now also can confirms his death.

Update2: A Spotify Playlist in remembrance for MJ.

RTOTN: Spanish

Florian Jensen — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:53:50 +0000

Let’s start a new segment on this site: RTOTN.

Ok, let me just explain what RTOTN is: RTOTN stands for Random Thought Of The Night.

From time to time you get a cool thought, and that’s what this is. So here’s the first one.

I’ve been watching HIMYM (what is it with acronyms today?! – How I Met Your Mother) all day. Enrique Iglesias guest starred in one of the episodes, and it reminded me how much I miss speaking Spanish.

Oh, and the song that makes me think even more about Spanish. (Spotify Link)

Man I love meetings

Florian Jensen — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:55:34 +0000

The reason for why meetings are awesome!

No more throttling on Virgin Media?

Florian Jensen — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:41:50 +0000

Just watched the latest Digg Dialog, and I was surprised when this question came up, and even more surprised with the response from Richard Branson. Let’s just hope that he stands by his word. Take a look at his statement. Related posts:Google Belgium, Germany and France offline, and maybe more?David Guetta’s Live Messenger Mix!UK Broadband service Related posts:

A sleepless night

Florian Jensen — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:56:04 +0000

As I need to catch normally wake up at 5AM to catch a train to Paris, I wanted to go to sleep earlier today. However, that didn’t really work out.

So I browsed the web for random stuff, and stumbled upon the following link:

http://thepiratebay.org/legal

I read all the mails, and I have to say: AWESOME. Who ever said legal stuff is boring? This is one of the most entertaining reads I ever read. Read it and share your thoughts on it here.

Iminent now public!

UK Broadband service

Florian Jensen — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:09:11 +0000

So, I’ve been in the UK for nearly a year now, and I thought I would share my thoughts on UK broadband.

Why now? Well, I was listening to Spotify, and heard a Virgin Media Broadband ad. Then Alex bugged me yesterday trying to explain why Virgin Media is crap, etc. etc.

So, as it stands, there are 2 technologies available in the UK to the consumer. Cable or ADSL.

So, I have the Broadband XL package from Virgin Media, which gives me 20Mbit/s down and 768kbit/s up on the paper. About 3 months ago, I would’ve said that I would go with ADSL any time. However, since the launch of Virgin’s DOCSIS3.0 Network, the DOCSIS1.0 network became usable. I am now always getting the speeds (90-100%) I should get on paper.

Now, I heard people complain about the traffic caps. Now, being on Broadband XL, and consuming a reasonably high amount of traffic, I often exceed the limits. Basically, they cap your speed to 25% if you exceed 6GB from 10am – 3pm and 3GB from 4pm-9pm.

In all fairness though, 25% of 20Mbit/s is still 5Mbit/s, which is about the same as you can get on ADSL here in Egham.

So do I like Virgin Media? Hell no. It’s the worst internet access I have ever used! But there isn’t any better offer on the market. Yes, the speedcap is annoying, but it’s still better than ADSL.

The thing that’s missing here are alternative ISPs that provide FiOS on their own infrastructure. What about Virtual ISPs on the fibre? That would allow them to have their own routing and peering, however Fibre accross most of the UK? It’s been done on ADSL for a long time. There has to be an alternative to Virgin Media, and ADSL on BTs horrible infrastructure!

It’s the lesser of two evil.
