Happy Free Shipping Day 2012. Also, Happy birthday Miss Awesome!

Our FiOS installation did not go as perfectly as it could have, though we didn't have any of that dramatic blow up your house stuff some experienced from the earliest days of this. When things concluded yesterday we had Internet and outgoing phone service, but no incoming service, which would be worse if our phone numbers weren't also all screwed up. I got some of this straightened out already this morning, and the final parts of this are expected to fall into place by tomorrow. The internet part of this is pretty awesome, as though it's hard to detect the speed difference, there is an odd latency in loading webpages that's gone away since the changeover, which is inexplicable, but cool.
