Not much to say, but I'll be scarcer, as the neighbor with whom I had a connectivity arrangement has moved as of about three weeks ago. So, my access is sporadic (whenever I have a buck for a cuppa at McD's, for example).
Just wanted to let y'all know... I didn't go away mad, but I'm just not around as much as I used to be!

Aroma, especially if he uses skunk scent to mask his human scent while hunting deer. I bet Starbucks do love to see him coming. :D

Finland was the first state in the world that has added the right to broadband Internet as a civil right (human right) inside its Constitution. ISPs are required to provide every citizen with at least 1 mbps link. However, that is just the "lower watermark" as they are really aiming for 100 mbps for everybody.
A number of countries in Europe are considering the same.
p.s. I already see my friend from the south of USA talking about impeding doom of socialism. :)

Been missing you too, Jpres. :( Yeah, lots of places got Wi Fi now. Krystal, Wendy's, Denny's, on n on.

Nashville TN here also. What part of Nashville?
I live in Charlotte Park, west Nashville.
Oh, the Richland Park branch library has free wifi, too, and it's not so far away. Thing is, they don't like people hanging out there after hours. But McD's $1 coffee isn't impossible every so often.
And of course, any time I'm at the shop (like today, working!), I have access. Still, just wanted to mention that my blog will be slowing down a bit, as will my general participation here, etc.

As socialist as I am, I don't really support that initiative for the U.S. Here in the states, lots of people provide free WiFi, some private, some public, so the need is met for those who at least have a portable computing device and live in an area that isn't completely rural.
Is broadband critical for a lot of folx? Sure, but for most, it's just a distraction or a toy 90%+ of the time.

Pres, What do you do for an occupation... or should I say.. What would you like to do?
-
Anything where I can clear $300/week, right now. ANYTHING.
I've been a web guy since the web was born. Last full-time web gig was with Vanderbilt, ended June, 2008.

Further update: A good friend of mine works for a huge telecomm company, and he's set me up with a wireless (cellular) device. I only get 3gigs/mo. of bandwidth, but with image loading turned off, I've decided I can surf all I want (five days of usage so far, and haven't crossed two days "quota" yet).
So... I'm back!

Good to see you, JPres. ;) Now please comment on all the posts since you've been away. :D
Things are a lot different here in the last month or so -- three more of the frequent posters have disappeared: Wordslinger, Sid, theBatman. >:( That's not to mention Zombie and Shaka who are still MIA! Edit: Whoops, Shaka IS here, my mistake!
But, hey, some of the newer folks are picking up the slack very nicely! Blue, Juice, Oswalters, Rianna, techguy, more, etc.
-
What about me? I'm trying to contribute too. lol
Seriously welcome back jprestonian!
BTW theBatman is tuning away on a 2T form, running strong. :)
-
Hey, yes, WT100. :) Knew I left somebody out! You and others have become the new regulars I reckon. ;D Glad of it!
JPres is a good guy who WORKS at least part time at a Kymco dealer so he's got a lot of good info.
Glad to see him back with his (sometimes) very DRY humor! ;)

HaHa I was trying to act offended but couldn't pull it off.
Soooo, jprestonian- We ever gonna hear any more about that secret TV show idea? I haven't forgotten and hope it is happening.
-

It's still being shopped. We met with another production company last Thursday. They were all about trying to manufacture drama in it, and that didn't strike the Captain of my team all that well.
We'll see.

Well good luck. I believer there is room for a more "honest" approach to "reality" shows. Gonna just have to be the right producer. Don't give up.
