communications quality

2007-07-31 21:09:39.656361+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Not only has my net connection been absolutely "comcastic" for the past week or so (and by that I mean intermittent in ways that Lucas switches can only aspire to), Cingular/AT&T/whatever they're calling themselves these days (gotta keep changing names to keep the brand ahead of the reputation...) managed to drop my cell phone connection twice during a five minute call. And since I was on foot and a "redial" made the connection again, it was clearly not a coverage issue.

Sigh.

Today is the day I will lose my connection (Internet, e-mail, voice) with most of the outside world for the next couple of weeks.

Later this afternoon I'm flying from Columbus (OH) to Moshi, Tanzania (via Detroit, Amsterdam, Kilimanjaro) to begin my climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, which begins next Monday morning. My emotions are all over the map right now, but I hope to bring back some interesting photos, videos and stories from my trip once I reconnect, on or about August 15th.

Cheers all,

Jeff

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
