I worked most of this weekend, b/w a poetry reading, a piano bar, getting a good run in and hanging out w/ rjs, on updating the Drupaldelphia theme.

It is no secret that Comcast DNS servers are at times terrible: http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/5672

At work we've found that for some reason we couldn't reach google, gmail, or all of our google products. This happened several weeks ago and was worse on Macs and our Linux machines.

We all switched to using OpenDNS, instructions here for Ubuntu: https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu , and not only did our web-surfing get way quicker, but we were able to reach google without a problem.

I and a number of folks from Zivtech and the Philly area proposed sessions for DrupalCon San Fran in April. Voting for the sessions is now open. Vote the Philly ticket!
