Aug. 6th, 2008 07:55 amI can has ethernet!
I'm here in Huntsville, Alabama. Chris had a business trip, and Tammie and I accompanied him. But because I have a project for work due soon, I needed to put in a few hours a day towards its completion. Hotel offers both wireless and ethernet.
My laptop does not have wireless. The card broke some time back, and I've had to use direct ethernet connection ever since.
Sunday night when we got here, I plugged it right in. No love from the wired internet. I called the tech service number, and the guy said it was probable that the whole hotel ethernet was down. Indeed, we switched rooms Monday[1], and it was down in the new room too.
I've been using Tammie's machine every day, preventing her from doing the things she needed to do. But every day, I've also checked my machine...and today, I can has ethernet!
Of course, I'm about to abandon it temporarily in order to acquire breakfast. Hopefully it will still be here when I get back. *crosses fingers*
[1] After the third time we had to call to have maintenance plunge the commode (it never did sound right even when it seemed to work)... we requested a room change.
