Landline, HOOOOOOO!

Status

Yaaaaaah. People ask me why I still keep a landline at home and today is one answer why. No service at a few spots I went to, VERY limited and slower than dial-up* wi-fi at other spots and me going NUTS trying to do a simple update post. Blech! Anyway, it’s near 7PM and I finally found a decent connection, so here’s A post. Not THE post I wanted to do, but that’s slow-biz, folks! Okay, back in a bit.

Anyway, I’m behind on a ton of stuff thanks to this and I’ve a screening to attend in the early evening. I’ll try hitting a hotspot afterwards to see if I get a better connection in the city, but this is getting ridiculous. Yeah, it’s going to be “fun” when these new digital-only systems roll in after the coming generation for sure. Back in a bit with some actual updates (HOPEFULLY)…
