We leave for our three week vacation in Maui on Thursday and we are getting super excited! However, the thought of being disconnected from the net for three weeks was something I didn’t want to consider... So I signed up with NetZero last night. (don’t let the name fool you, I’m not getting interNET for ZERO dollars, it’s costing me $9.95) I installed the client last night, but since we have no phone line, I cannot test it out before we get there (and I’ve never even used the modem before on my laptop). I’m sure there will be multitudes of problems, but I can’t complain, I’ll be in Hawaii!
Jesus, Jake. Just let it go. Leave the cell phone. Leave the laptop. Leave the gameboy. Enjoy the atmosphere. Heck, those are good words to live by even here in Seattle, but me suggesting that to anyone would be like so much kitchen-ware hurling accusations of chromatic disfunction at another.
I hate it when I put something in (what are they called - angled brackets?) that the posting program reads as html. That was supposed to read "Leave the [gasp] gameboy", but something got removed in the translation. How does one indicate two of these > without getting it read as a markup?
I know what you're saying about enjoying the atmosphere, I totally plan on it. It's not like I'm going to have the laptop on the beach or anything! However, I don't know the area and I don't have any travel guide books, so I figure the internet will be helpful in finding things to do! The internet is the MSG of life, it enhances the flavor and causes swelling of the brain.
As for the brackets, you have to use html escape characters. So, < shows up as < and > shows up as >. And if you're wondering how I got < to show up with out it turning into <, I had to use the escape character for & which is & (and that & totally had a & escape character in it too!)
