Welcome to the Internet.

Everyone: I'll probably be online from about 8-10pm from now on. Thanks to the magic of a laptop, a mobile phone and an infrared connection.

I used to tease people on dial-up.

"I remember when I was on dial-up."
"Hang on, actually, I don't."

Now dial-up is speedy in comparison to the 9,600 ones-and-zeroes that trickle through an infrared connection.

I'm now Web browsing with images turned off. It isn't quite as bad as I thought, but then again, cooking rice in a saucepan on an electric stove isn't quite as bad as I thought. (It's bad, it's just not that bad.)

Any rumours you might hear that I'm at the point with Kingdom of Loathing that I can play it just as well without images as with are totally false. Except for the one that's true.
