Even Off-er the Grid
Not only am I out of mobile reception most of the time, my phone is now broken so even when I'm in reception, I'm not available. I'm also now likely to only get emails every few days. I think I might be enjoying this gross excommunication, but I am also very, very scared.
On the other end of the scale, Rod's got a NextG USB dongle for his laptop so he can get fast internet up at the Hawkesbury, where there is no regular mobile reception, no landline, not even drinkable running water. There isn't even a bridge over the river to get to the road to the property, it's a goddamn car ferry.
Deliverance country, as he calls it.
Unfortunately this dongle is not playing with my PowerBook, but I may yet get that sorted out.
In other news, we violated at least a dozen OH&S rules today by demolishing part of a shed by knocking three of the white ant-infested walls out with crowbars and ripping the section of roof above them off by tying it to the ute and yanking it off. Unorthodox but effective.
