dialup blues

I'm away from home and on dialup over a metered phone line for the next week or so, so my net access at the moment more or less consists of logging on just long enough to grab email and usenet, open a selection of webpages, and log off again once or twice a day. I am more or less reading LJ and GMail, but am not necessarily replying to anything, because I'm probably offline by the time I read it. I'm not bothering with MySpace, because it takes forever to load. I'll fix the broken links on the website when I've got better access -- thanks for the heads-up.
