I can has ethernet!

I'm here in Huntsville, Alabama. Chris had a business trip, and Tammie and I accompanied him. But because I have a project for work due soon, I needed to put in a few hours a day towards its completion. Hotel offers both wireless and ethernet.

My laptop does not have wireless. The card broke some time back, and I've had to use direct ethernet connection ever since.

Sunday night when we got here, I plugged it right in. No love from the wired internet. I called the tech service number, and the guy said it was probable that the whole hotel ethernet was down. Indeed, we switched rooms Monday[1], and it was down in the new room too.

I've been using Tammie's machine every day, preventing her from doing the things she needed to do. But every day, I've also checked my machine...and today, I can has ethernet!

Of course, I'm about to abandon it temporarily in order to acquire breakfast. Hopefully it will still be here when I get back. *crosses fingers*

[1] After the third time we had to call to have maintenance plunge the commode (it never did sound right even when it seemed to work)... we requested a room change.

I hope you get a chance to tour the NASA facility there. It's cool!

I used the LSL loaner laptop a few weeks ago when I went to Peoria with Aubri - it worked great! A bit slow since it is going through cell phone towers and the internet to work, then through the internet again to the coop and back through the entire loop, but it was free and convient and the best part was working in the car on the way up and the way back! What else you gonna do on the ride there? Well, ok, maybe sleep. :)

I'm considering getting a new laptop with an air card for personal use. The new property gets our carrier here at work but not AT&T (my personal carrier) which I find odd but at least I can get one so that might be what I do.
