GNC-2010-01-25 #546 Live from Jacksonville

Posted by geeknews at 8:28 PM on January 25, 2010

My time here in Florida is rapidly coming to a close and I will be heading back to Honolulu. I am suffering bandwidth withdrawals as the hotel connectivity is simply horrid. Someday Hilton will figure out how to keep their customers happy. But the Homewood Suites here in Jacksonville need to work on their bandwidth. Should be an exciting day on Wednesday we will see if all the fuss is worth it.
