[travel] Still alive
Feb. 9th, 2009 10:25 pm... just having some trouble getting on the internet.
Given that the 16 hours people in the US are awake tend to align with my (1) sleeping time and (2) day adventure time, I haven't been on the internet at the same time as you American folks.
I have taken close to 1000 photos in the last 10 days. I tried to upload one to flickr, and it took about 2 minutes. Some slick web 2.0 stuff is broken on the EEE PC (trying to sort this out), including flickr uploader and dropbox, so I've had to use the public terminals for bulk uploading. I don't exactly want to stay logged in while they run overnight uploading files, so uploading large amounts of info is out. Well, hopefully I can hold on to my data until I get to a nice first-world airport. I have it all backed up locally, but I want my data resting safely in a server farm in Oregon.
Anyway, I'm having loads of fun. Text-only post coming soon. :-)
