Frustration

Dear All:

I am one UNHAPPY camping blogger, right now.

As you might've read in the previous posts comments section, Renato kindly transmitted my lack of connectivity -- something which has happened since last Friday.

I'm not sure what is happening, but it takes FOREVER to load any page, whether graphics-heavy, or old-fashioned ones, like the low-graphics Google.

Fortunately, I have an ISP chappie coming this Friday, an appointment I've waited for 5 days to have.

Just to highlight my frustration in its starkest terms, guess how long this deucedly simple post took to load and compose?

30 minutes.

Argh!

(I didn't help that this week, my father was unwell and today was at hospital, so my usual forays to the university labs, have necessarily been very much at the back of my mind)

Apologies, my friends. I will try to sort this out soon. I miss you all much.

P.S.: Ehud Olmert's speech rocked. And the Press Conference last night with Tony, was bang on. Sigh. I hate not blogging.

4 PM EDT UPDATE: Yay! I'm back online, and there is a tremendous improvement in the connectivity rate -- super fast now. However, remember my Norberto story? Well, the techie who came to my place was another "The Cuban-American" -- but this time such a rude person, that I'm off to Fourbucks to get a caffe latte to calm myself down. What a jerk. He told me MY computer is old. Old! Well, yes it is. So? So is his mama. Don't get me started.

More later!
