Silly Comm Guys

So I am trying to save a little money and not buy the internet for my last month here. The internet cost $100 a month and is close to dial up speed, this may sound like a huge rip off but being able to email and stay in touch via my room in the desert is really convenient! So plan B was this free wifi that they put up for everyone on base. First a short history lesson...

The USAF let people onto hotmail and what not for a few years then they banned it for all. Then I noticed in 2004 that they started letting people use hotmail and such overseas when they were deployed, that was nice! Then they killed it again on all the computer but let you use hotmail on some morale computers. Well this goes back and forth but this year the USAF has given access to not just hotmail but youtube and facebook to everyone on all work computers, yea I don't know how that is going to help productivity but hey, the people are happy. Now I am connected to this "morale net" and it won't let me access my blog web page... Some things just make me scratch my head. Anyway I can post via email and update it when I go to work and get on an official computer.

So long story short if I hold my laptop up against the corner of my room I get a pretty good internet connection (yes I will need to build a desk/shelf) and I am saving $100. So I will give this a try for a few days and see if it's worth the savings. The only catch is that the internet that you pay for is for 30days, no more no less so now that I am getting close to 30 days I should buy it sooner rather than later if that is what I am going to do...

Yes as you can tell I have had too much time off from flying. We got to fly yesterday but it was 12 hours off from our normal sleep schedule so we were all really tired when we got back. Now they are trying to keep us on this new schedule and it is hard to get adjusted to the new bed time.

OK I am going to try and go to bed in a bit, have a great weekend, Aloha!
