Are you like tethered to your phone or something then? I mean if the power went out than generally that means that your router isn't getting power either, so nothing to connect to the internet through.

I actually posted that on the phone, then went back to dwarf fortress.
It is no longer a sad, because the power came back on before my battery died.

Dialup

My housemate and friends came home and interrupted my relaxing music session in the garage after I'd only managed to listen to one album. I guess it's back to sitting in my room, trying to listen to stuff through my one remaining earphone.

At least I got to listen to one of my new tapes- I've been meaning to give them all a play for a while.
Hopefully soon our main tape player will be back from being serviced and I can pilfer the other one for use in my room. Maybe I'll grab some decent speakers to use with it, too. Setting my room up with a proper sound system would be amazing.

Dialup

The vast majority of dialup modems still have to plug into some sort of power source (usually the wall), same as any other modem or router.

Right now I'm working on something and I really feel like getting a coffee (a hot one), but our kettle is rather noisy and there is someone sleeping on the couch in the lounge room, which is attached to the kitchen via an open doorway.

I was about to take advantage of being awake so early (due to not sleeping) and go buy some still-warm pizza rolls from the store, but then I realised it is raining. Not too heavy, but heavy enough that I would be pretty wet if I walked to the shops in it.
Since I lack any easy way of getting dry once I return (the heater's in the lounge room, and someone is still sleeping in there), I guess I won't go.

You don't own an umbrella?

Someone get this man an umbrella.

[Eric Blank]

I dont own an umbrella either.
I have a jacket, though.

I'm sure I'm too late, but do you have any large garbage bags? Cut a hole in the bottom, then wear it as a poncho.

I feel like I've done a ton of stuff today, and yet there's still somehow more to do. I have to read a pretty insane amount of boring, dry text for Persuasion, I have to make four forum posts for the same, begin writing a speech (still on Persuasion), do my Calculus homework, and even remember that I'm enrolled in an online course in the first place.

And that's just schoolwork. I have to study and retake my driver's permit test as well, work this weekend, struggle vainly to work on some personal interest projects, and I'm sure there's some other shit I'm forgetting.

[TheBiggerFish]

One post down?

Oh, darn, they meant a Special Forum, didn't they.
