I'm going to be unreachable via email for a bit.

Post #52,641 by cwbrenn 9/21/02 5:48:43 PM Reply	I'm going to be unreachable via email for a bit. Basically, I'm running out of money and my prospects for employment are not good. No one seems to want to hire a guy moving from one city to another -- the people in the city you're living in NOW see no point in getting you for a month or two,a nd the people in the city you're moving TO want to wait until you've arrived. Or something like that. At any rate, it's at the point where internet access has officially become a luxury item, so I'll be shutting it down sometime this week. I can't even begin to tell you how distressing that is. Help Desk will remain in some kind of limbo on Keenspot until I get back. That's just the way it is... (hopefully I can fix those damned PNG errors on my site before I go)... Those of you who want to get in touch with me, for say, perhaps a meal in the Raleigh/Durham/etc area, should email me sooner than later so you can get my phone number. I hope this will only last a short while, but you know... internet time... no one will recognize me when I return. :) Signing off eventually, Chris Wright (wrightc@ubersoft.net, for the moment) "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

It would provide some measure of connectivity at least. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

The Wife is already up there and working. I'm down here with no-one but the dogs for company. They're nice dogs, though. So there is that.

Post #52,651 by cwbrenn 9/21/02 7:02:23 PM Reply	well... I can probably still check my email via Yahoo at the public library, from time to time. Thanks though. "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

Post #52,789 by cwbrenn 9/23/02 3:55:00 AM Reply	This is the part where I prove to the world I'm an idiot :) I could probably manage a $10 a month dialup access provider, but... I've packed away all my modems. All of them. And I packed my office into storage FIRST, so it's at the very back, and the storage unit is about 80% full. :P So having a dialup account will be pretty useless, since the necessary hardware is in storage. It's not really a big deal, though. I can check my email at the library, so my mailboxes won't overflow. And with any luck I'll be in Albany in a month. Looking forward to Albany. What I've seen so far tags it as a pretty nice place. "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

Email me at gdaustin@aol.com if you want to borrow a modem for a month or two (heck, you can have it because all my computers have internal modems now...) Glen Austin
