Almost midnight...
Oct. 13th, 2006 11:48 pmI'm beginning to think that there's something broken in the phone system, because earlier this evening, all of the ILS folks were off visiting a local school, and since the largest consumers of the lines out of here are these same folks, it would follow that the lines ought to have been available.
Skype doesn't work very well over dial-up, at least not from here. I can hear incoming voice-over-IP fairly well, but Drew described my voice as sounding as if I was in a tunnel and drunk, with a lag of unendurable length. So we used the Skype chat feature to communicate and I sent him an email outlining what I wanted to accomplish with the bank, but I've received no response (which doesn't mean he didn't get it). I will try calling one more time after I kill the dial-up connection, and then go to sleep.
Maybe I'll set the alarm for early in the morning; maybe I won't.
Cheers...
