OK correction from my earlier post - it looks like *I* am in another
state from my own. Not just a few minutes away, but several hours.

I suppose I should also mention that my detected IP address on the page
is not the one my ISP assigned me. Hmm.

In that case, it would place me in Toronto. The location I get have NO
relationship to the location associated with my IP or the location of my ISP's
two places of business.

Interesting; you don't happen to be an Alain that I know and have worked
with?
Do the names "Spark National" or "Finnitech" have meaning to you?

Looking at canada411.com, I get 86 Alain Martel... 4 in Montreal.
Once, I was in a place with 2 others who had my name, it was prety confusing.

Would've definitely been a small world thing if it had - I wasn't sure
how common the name is. :-)

Wow, It seems that I'm near Portland, Oregon (U.S.)
I don't recall how I got there/here.
I hope the missus isn't going to be too miffed that I'm late for dinner.
I wonder if I can get home in 45 minutes? It usually take me at least 25.

ISTR that when I'm in the office, the internet connection there
identifies as being in San Jose; so if I work in San Jose and live in
Denver, that's one heck of a commute, even twice a week.
Granted, my boss lives in Toronto and commutes in once or twice a month
(for a week) to Provo, UT, and her boss lives in Sarasota, FL and does
the same, so relatively speaking, I'm not traveling as far, but it sure
doesn't feel like the distance between San Jose and Denver that two times
a week. Covering that distance in 45 minutes is pretty impressive -
especially considering that I drive and I've never received a ticket for
speeding on that drive...
(Doesn't mean I don't 'drive with traffic' which is usually 80 MPH)

(old, yes, but I'll still answer)
It hits straight bulls-eye to the local phone firm (Ainacom), which owns
the cabling around this area, so also the cable which is rented to
another ISP (Sonera) to provide a link for me. Intresting part is that
my IP-series comes from Sonera's pool, not from Ainacoms pool.
