I haven't had internet at home for … a long time. The closest I got was when I was staying in Suwon, in January thru March, but my connectivity at Suwon was sporadic. And since starting work in Hantucky, I've been deprived. I've been able to do the essentials. But there a little things, that long ago became important habits: streaming internet radio (such as MPR or KCRW); being able to blog when I felt like it, rather than when it was possible; being able to look something up on wikipedia when I wanted to, rather than having to note it down and wait until I had a chance to look it up later. These are luxuries, in the scheme of things. But I'm very pleased to finally have the ability to do these things again. And my blog admin website isn't even blocked. Wow. Special super-duper wonder-bonus, eh?
A friendly and competent Korean technician came and got it working for me, this evening. Special thanks to my co-teacher for handling the various telephone calls that were required to make this happen. Hopefully… I won't have to move again. Ergh. Scary thought. Mantra: Pessimism = bad; Pessimism = bad; Pessimism = bad. Heh.
