Geek

Okay, so I'm a geek....

Right before Thanksgiving, I picked up 3G pc interface kit for my laptop (since pulled by sprint, which can't decide exactly how it wants to market its network -- but I have my kit and am set) so I could take advantage of Sprint's new "higher speed" (a bit of a misnomer, since it's only higher relative to the old 14.4k) data network via my modem-capable LG 5350 phone. But since then, I've managed to get sick a couple of times and haven't actually roadtripped anywhere to make good use of it.

So this report is coming from I-45 as we're cruising along in the Cobra, and everything is working relatively well. Sprint's network is a little finicky, and vision really only wants to serve data when it's requested, going into sleep mode otherwise (easily fixed by running a ping -t command in a dos window -- I told you I was a geek!) -- but it works.

But, sadly, as has been the case for much of December, I really have little to say! More later perhaps. :)
