The Modernish Father

Sorry about the lack of a promised recap, but this one’s not my fault. Our internet connection at home was for crap last night. I couldn’t connect to anything – Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, animated dancing hamsters, etc. I certainly couldn’t connect well enough to write a big, massive blog post.

I complained about it on Twitter and was contacted by someone pretending to care, so maybe it’ll actually be fixed when I get home tonight. I wouldn’t bet on it though. I think the problems aren’t on my end, but rather just network congestion. It seems to only happen on weeknights between 7 p.m. and midnight. You know – when everybody’s at home using their computer. They just launched 20MB service in our area and the congestion started at exactly the same time. It wouldn’t shock me to learn that they’re selling a service without putting the proper infrastructure in place first.

I tried hammering a post out using my iPhone, but good goo, that’s no way to go through life. The iPhone is great for typing out text messages and brief e-mails, but it’s just not designed for composing an epic novel. So I’ll work on it tonight, publish WW as usual tomorrow morning and then follow up with the recap tomorrow afternoonish on Thursday on Friday.
