Left those social networks at the end of last week without telling anybody. I've been getting kind of annoyed with people lately, just people in general, so I stopped logging into sites or chat programs wherein I could be reached. HOWEVER. I've come out from under the floorboards to triumphantly bellow that I now have COX High-Speed Internet plugged straight into the back of my computer, instead of through three splitters, a wireless router and then a wireless extender. The difference is phenomenal. Instead of my bittorrent files downloading at, on average, less than 3 kb/s each...I have a few at over 100 kb/s. That, and SoulSeek now works for me.

Alright. Heading back into online isolation. I'm still here from time to time, so if it's anything dire I'll likely get in touch. Phone calls work too, although I broke the rule to call Rebecca last night, and I'll likely have to break that rule again soon due to her reappearance in Louisiana next week.

Plumbing is such a bitch to figure out in a virtual environment.
I'm glad you're willing to make do and piss in the corner.
Oh, and it'll have a dingy naked lightbulb swaying in the middle of the ceiling. OF COURSE.

Hmm. I feel you on that one; sometimes I feel myself doing that too. The only bad part is that folks get pissed when you do, and since you eventually plan on coming back, you might have to get chewed out for a bit before people allow you back in their lives for ditching them like that. E_E;;...

OMG Soulseek ftw. <3 Soulseek. No trojans from Soulseek, unlike Limewire.

And damn, why'd you have to go through THREE splitters, a router, AND an extender? Damn, you'd think you lived down the BLOCK with all the loops you had to jump through just to get internet on your computer.
