The joys of geekdom

[DisgruntledVirus]

So as I type this I am on my tablet PC in the car as the gf is driving, connected through Verizon's EV-DO network to surf the forums and post. There really is no real point to this post other then to say that it is so amazingly fun to be able to surf the net anywhere I have cell service, including in the car as the gf drives

Or on the way down to Quakecon. Last year we had it setup with 3 cars all had internet through a router with wifi (Phone>laptop>wifi router>to other 2 cars). Was amazing lol.

PS. that flight attendant stuff gave us a laugh

Unlimited data plan I take it? That's pretty awesome. I bet the drivers were mad for not having anything to do while everyone else screwed around on the internet.

Weird, was just listening to this song: Text.

Doubly weird because the only video I could find of it was over Quakecon footage.

It wasn't too bad for most of it, we had somebody playing WoW and actually capped the flag in battlegrounds.... one of us has a video of it... was fast enough to stream eps of The Office and play through the car speakers

anyways for the "shens of gf" stuff here's a pic

Thanks I think so as well

I was trying to upload that while we were in the car last night, but stupid bluetooth on my tablet was giving me issues and didn't want to work for me.

EV-DO is suppose to be roughly cheap DSL speeds, isn't it? anyone know the upload speeds?

In practice I get 1-300 kb/s down.
