    Thanks for the shout out Paul Braren! It was a great to have Cali in Omaha and the meetup was awesome! We have to get her in Omaha a little more often! The shot a bunch of video that night and even more the next day at the Drobo Support Center. I’m sure we will see a little more of Omaha in future epidodes.
    We also mentioned the meetup at the end of the latest Home Server Show. http://homeservershow.com/dont-let-the-door-hit-you-in-the-home-server-show-222.html

    I see Drobo, and might see a Collison or two somewhere there.
    Seriously, glad you got to meet that podcaster Jim Collison!
    FYI, Jim mentions the recent Omaha meet-up in his episode 115, just published!

    Hi Cali,
    You sounded like you weren’t familiar with CenturyLink. They used to be Qwest, but were bought out. In fact, they offer services in most of the United States (including the Dallas area). if they handle DSL in the Dallas area, they may bring the Gigabit Internet to you before Google does.

    Have a wonderful weekend.:)
    Patrick.

      I view anything CenturyLink with extreme skepticism. They launched their Prism IPTV in 2010, still have only 8 Markets, and from what I’ve heard from people in LaCrosse doesn’t work that well.

    Youre supposed to put the flavor in AFTER you carbonate the water. Lol

      I was irritated the first time you broadcast the SodaStream episode because of the failure to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS by putting the flavor in AFTER the COLD water is carbonated. I’m a customer without financial interest, and I have NEVER had my SodaStream explode like you portrayed, over and over. I thought at first that this would be a ‘mea culpa’ to apologize for your previous oversight, but the fact that you have now rebroadcast this stupidity suggests that your intent is to damage SodaStream’s business. Nice.
