Dial-Up Sucks!
May. 2nd, 2006 08:59 pmI had forgotten how entirely dial-up sucks. It's a good thing I got all the web site stuff done before my DSL decided to act up because ... wait for it ... dial-up sucks. Ah well, when I get back from Kalamazoo, maybe they'll have fixed whatever's wrong with the DSL thingie. And then there's my e-mail's mysterious refusal to send my reply to Cary Lenehan. This one is much more mysterious. At first it was all tangled up in the network going in and out, but even on dial-up ... no ... wait ... it's just that he booby-trapped his return e-ddress. Grrr. Ok, now it works. But dial-up still sucks.
I'm going to set up the computer projector and run through my talk a couple times -- once with the version that assumes I won't be able to get a wireless connection in the classroom and everything has to be screen-shots, and once with the version that has the live demo. I suspect that I may have to trim it a little because I currently have 20 slides for a 20 minute presentation, and that's generally considered to be a bit crowded.
And then to bed, to get a plane at an ungodly hour of the morning.
