TwitStat Lists Top Twitter Clients

Mashable has a post up about the most popular twitter clients according to TwitStat.

Cable Modem Woes

November 9th, 2008

Spent the morning watching my cable modem blink with ranging lights.   I went through all the usual debugging of unplugging the modem, waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in.  I reset my router several times.  No good.  Three lights, no internet.  Finally gave in and called Comcast customer service and once again learned why a number of my friends have switched over to Qwest DSL.  Stranglely enough, not 10 minutes after I scheduled a technician to come out and look at my modem, the service came back on by itself.  I’ve moved the modem from its usual perch in the top of a closet to where they can get at it easily tomorrow should I decide to let them come out and look at it anyway.  I think I’ll wait until the morning and see if it’s been up all night before I cancel the appointment.

At least it’s not putting a damper on my getting this blog up and running today!
