Monday Morning Madness: This MUST be HELL!
I’m writing this post while I’m waiting for my car to be repaired at the car repair service.
I have to wait here for almost two hours and am offline. I’m trying to tell myself that this is a good thing because I can finally catch up on all those messages in my Inbox that need to be read.
But I’m going through serious withdrawal symptoms here. Not a minute goes by that I don’t open a browser window to quickly check up on something or one of my applications asks me for an Internet connection.
Evernote wants to sync with its servers. My .Me account wants to connect to me.com. My Dictionary warns me that it get its content from the Internet so I can’t even look a few words up.
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a 3G ExpressCard?
My friends all have jailbroken iPhones with Wireless Tethering, I must make amends.
Work hard all my lifetime, no wi-fi makes no sense,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a 3G ExpressCard?

Good posting that was read with pleasure and a accordingly smile. Hang in there.
Most phones offer some kind of bluetooth-modem functionality, doesnt the iphone do that? That would be a bloody shame (and yet another reason to chuck it).
Go to t-mobile.nl, order an ExpressCard and sign up for a 1 year contract (15 euro’s per month). Tada, wireless internet on your Macbook Pro :)
I like that enforced offline time I sometimes encounter. It gives me a chance to think and contemplate life and get away from people who won’t stop calling or emailing me looking for something.
A little break from modern life isn’t always bad, unless money’s riding on it, that’s different.
