Technical Difficulties

Posted at 1:36 pm MDT to Technology

Note to self: do not plan vacations to the unwebbified hinterlands of anywhere, anytime. The network connection here at the apartment was down much of yesterday and it was very disorienting. The main reason I can stand being thousands of miles from my books is that so much information is available online. Without google. I'm crippled.

If the link was still down this morning, I was going to look for connectivity elsewhere. I think the Starbucks on the first floor may have Wifi, and if not, there are probably other sources nearby. There are so many colleges and universities in the Boston area, it's a wonder they have room for anything else . (Starbucks don't have decaf chai, which is probably a good thing for both my wallet and my waistline, or I'd know whether they have wifi.)

In other techy news, one of the new features I've added to this blog seems to have shifted the posting time displays to GMT instead of the local time. I don't really post things in the middle of the night. The change may be related to the upgraded RSS and Atom feeds. If I can't switch things back without breaking something, I will at least label the times as GMT.

I'm still working on weblog pings and a few other features for the site.
