Time Warner Cable throttling server downloads

Posted on December 1, 2013 by Kevin Jordan

After much research, I’ve found that Time Warner Cable is throttling downloads to my server. Downloading the same 200MB zip file directly from my site, or through a proxy shows 4x speed up using a proxy server.

I’ve contacted Bluehost(my datacenter) and Time Warner Cable. Time Warner Cable’s tier 3 support said they do not throttle but had no idea why my issues were happening.

More information on this at my thread on reddit.

Galaxy S3 Bike Mount

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Kevin Jordan

I designed and 3d printed a mount for my Galaxy S3. Works great! Helps me ride around town a lot easier, play ingress, and be a Stravasshole.

I designed this in SolidWorks by subtracting a virtual Galaxy S3 from my design. It would be fairly easy to change it to any other phone.

Instructions on how to download and make your own is on my Thingiverse page.
