In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where there's no nuts to roast I'm John C Dvorak All right Well it said the improvement is about We're at about 90% now all right better than nothing. I am running on the hot spot
00:43 Oh, that's funny. Yeah well it was the only thing they suggested is after you... We should explain to people we started the show a few minutes ago and then we had to restart it because of the connection was crap and then somebody suggested he uses hotspot which is a little device that hooks into cell networks and he berated the person! It's different than that there's not quite if someone said hey I know maybe you should try a mobile hotspot instead in chatroom style its You should get a Hotspot I was like, yeah thank you. Thank you very much. You should get a mobile router! Yeah thank you i'm using that too. It's like...I have every combination known to man it's just the what is the word?

Exactly, anyway now all we're trying to do is bring you the best podcast in the universe every single time regardless of location and I have to say it's a little frustrating for me when the only thing that is just not stable is the connection wherever you are It's really infuriating sometimes Well, especially when you're in the Big Apple. Yeah well... You think they have good connectivity? Actually I think Manhattan is pretty much known for really really bad connectivity residential... Is that right? Yeah yeah oh I hear nothing but complaints from people in New York City and Manhattan itself yeah it's apparently very hard to get any kind of decent connection here.
