Well, if I'm twisting songs I count "one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand,
three-one-th..." at that point, I hit the next song. What this does, is let
me start another song before my previous one's effect has hit. If I get my
timing juuuuuuuust right, I can do 4... but not for long :o/ My connection
is quite odd also. With my crappy rural lines, you would think I would be
Captain LinkDeath, right? Nope. Many has been the time that I've come back
from a massive PL spike just to find all sorts of other folks in the zone
LD, but I'm still just a-kickin ;o) (My ISP uses USUnwired as a backbone.
Things were a bit different for me when iAmerica was "handling" it :o/ )
I'm on The Rathe, and when I hit the server, there's usually upwards of 1800
folks on. Usually high 1900's-mid 2100's. As before, I rarely have a LD
problem, but my movements do tend to get jerky as lag sets in.

Going for 38 tonight
