On from the library again

...but my time's about to run out for the day, and so I can't really say much. It really sucks only getting an hour a day of Internet, y'know? Maybe Surewest will get their acts together and figure out that we really can get DSL at the house. I'll be calling them when I go home.

But yeah, I may be another week or two without Internet, which really sucks, because I can't quite get the research I need done to write my paper, and testing is hard, and I can't really look for jobs, and even the computers are only half sure they'll let me use the java programs, so...

Yeah. It's a pretty miserable half-existence on here, but I've not forgotten you all. I just have no time to do anything fun after I finish my homework. An hour's pretty restrictive, but it's better than none at all, I suppose.

Wait, you're taking a class?

Yah, two actually. Linguistics and accounting. Over the Internet. You can see where lack of connectivity is killing me.

Hey katster, I don't know when you'll get this...
but remeber that location based database project of yours. We'll you might want to get in touch with the bright boys at Google:

Because it looks like you might have something.

I need to pull it out and work more on that. But yeah, I've always thought location-based stuff is cool. I've always wanted both a database collection of my books and a Palm with wireless, so when I'm browsing at the local bookstore, I can know if I have a book or something.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this for an awfully long time, even before this latest Google hooplaw. :)

I'm just more of an infogeek than a technogeek. :)
