being without internet

Posted in: nerdly

is a pain in the ass.

I am on vacation for the first time in ages, and for the first time in longer than I can remember I have been mostly without internet.

So, I had to do something about that.

Using this sweet app, these directions and FoxyProxy I am now writing this on my laptop on the blazingly fast 3g connection of my G1 (~400K down/~150K up)

(in reality, all internet feels slow to me now that I am used to the 100MB fiber @ work. However, I still use the shared 56k line at my parents when I’m there, and I’m happy to know that I’m significantly faster than that…)

so, happy xmas to me, I’ll be able to code and waste time on the internet on the train this weekend.

  1. Wow, 400k down is pretty solid. I only get about 150k with my 1.5mbit DSL.

    Happy Holidays!
