Awesome.
FWIW, I'm still connected via cell network. The hotel's internet is spotty, so someone fucked something up somewhere.
I should be able to open the thread, unless that happens to be the time when my network connection goes down for 30 to 60 minutes.
It usually happens about the time other hotel guests are settling in for the night. I should be here. If I'm missing at 20:05, you should probably open the thread.
If its not up by 20:03 I will open it
It should be, unless that's when my nightly outage occurs. I have an outage pretty much every night - even during the week. People settle in and go online, saturating the cell phone towers. My bars drop to 0 and stay there until I re-enter the queue and wait a while. I often have to restart the phone a couple of times.
It's a damned good thing I have unlimited internet - or I'd be pretty pissed.
Also, my cell phone company probably regrets giving me unlimited bandwidth - but, to be fair, most months I don't use any bandwidth at all. The last time I checked at my provider's site, I'd gone through like 50 GB of traffic.
