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.

hey gor, isnt that gonna cost you alot using your mobile for dialup????
Forgot to mention: until mid-November, GPRS is free for Telstra prepaid. Just as well, I've downloaded over $60 of data (which equates to about 10mb).
