That still has dial – up. I can’t watch youtube, it takes forEVER to get to sites, etc. If I post it, I will do it! So I’m listing it as a goal on my 43things account and I’m going to do it! Soon! Maybe even this weekend!
How to get high speed internet
How I did it: Just turned on my wireless detector one day and... there it was. I don't even know which neighbor I'm "borrowing" from. I hope they don't mind... But free high-speed internet is the best!
People doing this are also doing these things:
Entries
Comcast comin’ to give me the hookup. Funny how when it’s time for things to happen, they just happen naturally.
Next… a new computer.
Due to my connection speed and lack of ram, it took me over an hour to make this entry, so you know I’m dedicated. Hah =8*P
purplefibermom is incognito
keeps me chained to my cable company unfortunately. worth the trade off until something better comes along.
Not yet, and I’m payin the price in TIME. It’s barely a luxury at this point, and still I wait.
allogenes is drinking Sambuca at the moment!
The internet is just not the internet without a high-speed always-on connection!
Last night I did a Yahoo image search for “baby moose” and it took a full minute to load. Tonight I did the same search, but with “baby squirrels” since I didn’t want the efficacy of my pristine experiment to be compromised by the cache. All the images loaded in LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. I was very impressed.. but, I thought, baby squirrels are very small. Can it load taller baby animals this quickly? So I tried “baby sloths”... and it was just as fast!! =)
I’ve wanted to do this for a LONG time, I’m going to quick make a goal of it so I can check it off later. Is that cheating? I just want to bask in the warm glow of accomplishment while downloading cute animals at record speed.
