Nothing interesting... I just wanted to check that I was able to access the site properly as there were no new posts.

I was similarly concerned the other day. My broadband at home went down for about 18 hours and when I checked after it was restored there were no new posts. I checked from my work machine and it looked about right, although a couple of new posts had since been made.

I've not posted for some time due to my living in the third-world country called rural central Indiana, USA. Back on-line, but with limited access through a mobile wi-fi device. Short of moving to civilization, I foresee no cure.

Annnnd, since my old computer died, I'm struggling to learn how to use this laptop contraption I bought to replace it.

AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!

Welcome back, Geoff, even if your access is limited. Another online friend who lives in rural America had the same problem; he was forced to use dial-up until recently and has just managed to get broadband of a sort by using a mobile Wi-Fi connection like you.

And what of Bob? Did your test post prove your connection?

And the beauty of laptops is that you can take them somewhere, like a Starbucks or a library or a hotel lobby, and get online free. So good to see you back!
