Internet rehab??

Is there such a thing as internet rehab, cuz if there is, I'm gonna need it. I've reached the end of my contract with at&t, and we have to shrink our budget, so the the connection is at an end. Now I'll have to go to the library for internet time(I'm pretty sure MG will pass the "filter" test), so that means less for the MODS to read

I've got a couple more days, so I wanted to take the oppurtunity to let everyone know that it's been a blast, and I'll miss this place the most.

So, when I'm not around as much, someone else will have to take over the post's requiring , and

Oh, and don't worry, I'll drop in as often as possible, because after all what would MG be without my SPAM

 

well,.....while you still have it.........try and download, some free service.........it's dial up, and you have to look at the adds, and they always load first.........some of them give you ten hours a month............i know, you been spending more time then that, a day, here at MG.............but, since your cutting back......wobbles

 

yeah netzero has a free service: http://my.netzero.net/s/signup?platinum=N&cf=

 

Does AOL still have the 2 or 3 free months to try it out?
I know it isnt a fav in here but if its free ....

 

not untill you give them a checking acc. number or credit card number........and your still paying for it in the long run..........wobbles

 

thanks for the info and effort guys, but, we are dropping the whole land-line thing. We have a cell phone with unlimited services(time & disatnce) so we've decided to drop the home phone.

But, it's cool, when things get tight, ya gotta do what ya gotta do

 

Sorry to hear you're downsizing scorcer. Hopefully it won't be forever.

 

Don't worry hot head I'll keep the spam and silly stuff going , or I'll try. Nobody even posts down below anymore and that's where I mostly hang or used to. Sometimes I talk to myself but I think I know everything and always get in an argument with myself that I just can't seem to win

 

You know GT, you always put the right words on things


@mgrist- I'll be around, just extremely not as much

it's just a shame I wont be able to catch you on the folding

my little PIII, 1 gig, Dell was gonna kick your a$$

 

". . .and I'll miss you most of all. . ."
I to am sorry to "hear" ya downsizing
its been good havn ya around

 

I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to be around as much as you used to!

To make things easier for you, take a look at the Last Page of the Internet and you will realise, there isn't much left to see!

Take care!

 

@ jarcher-thanks buddy, our library has internet access, in 1 hour blocks you can sign up for, so I wont hafta go cold turkey

@solange-- so thats the end of the internet, I thought it was just a myth

 

Hey, Scorcer, catch ya around! And remember, rehab is for quitters

 

@ Halo-- you get paid to google?? cool, if it's medical, does that make you a Doctor of googlology?

@ MikeH-- I'll get my fix, even if I have to go wi-fi and hang out at starbucks I'll just bring my own coffee and sit in the parking lot

Does anyone know if MG gets passed the content filters most libraries and schools use? Plus, I just found out our local unemployment office has 8 computers set up purely for internet use, I'm going there for job search, so I can always jump on there

 

Aw Bluesy, you got more to worry about with your family than my broke butt, you take care of them ya hear?

 

Bummer Scorcer, that means you probably won't be able to see my graphics intensive site of the Haiti Mission Trip when we get back from Haiti on or around March 25th. Hey I've got a great idea! Find a neighbor that has broadband, buy a LOT of CAT-5 cable and run it across to them (yea, that's it, steal the bandwith!!) Seriously, you will be missed. Take care friend.

 

Send me an e-mail when it's ready, I've got a buddy with DSL, I'll go bum internet time from him for that.

Oh, and what's that thing called, "war driving" I think

 

lol we have wireless things now. if you wanted to steal bandwith just buy an adapter and hope ur neighbors don't have security on their routers enabled

 

Like I said earlier, there is always starbucks parking lot

Think they'll notice me out there with my Dell tower pc running off an inverter

 

Not if you're in a van with tinted windows.

Of course the cops might get suspicious of other things......

 

I had a friend with more money then…well you know…….and he used to use his cell phone, and hookup with a dial up number from home……here in Vacaville, they just opened a new library that has wireless, and you could sit in the car or even at the park next door……..i even know where the electric plug is for your tower……..wobbles

 

hehe. it's like what i do.
Inside borders: t-mobile hotspot
Outside borders: unsecured linksys wireless router

being cheap, i pick the latter. besides, i can get some fresh air this way.

 

I've got a buddy seeing if he can hook me up with a laptop with wifi, should be a bit less bulky than a full tower

@GT-- now what would be suspicious about a long haired, bearded, middle-aged guy in a van with blacked out windows

@ wobbles-- wireless at the library, cool. maybe I'll have to try to instigate something like that here, our library has 6 pc's, i think, set up for internet + 2 others in spanish for the internet, and you can schedule an hour at a time, till I get another job that'll have to do

 

Well I have seen folks using their own notebooks in the library, and even plugging in the power cord, and nobody saying anything about it………wobbles

 

I'm gonna have to check that out here, or convince my wife to move there

 

Scorcer, I'll miss my bad boy fix....chow

 

Hey scorcer, wait 'til dark, get a ladder and climb the pole outside your house with the big box on it. Avoid the really high wires. Open the box and connect the extension cord you brought with you to the green wire red wire and black wire. Splice a jumper from the purple wire to the yellow wire, then tie a knot in the orange wire. Finally, cut the blue wire, repeat, the BLUE wire. If successful the bank of LEDs will flash the tune to "Mission Impossible". Climb down the ladder and enjoy your free internet. Also turn on your TV and you can watch what your neighbours are doing!

Hope to see ya back here on a regular basis soon.

 

@Gabriella--I deny all charges<evil-grin>


@ sibeer-- goofball! If you saw my neighbors you'de rethink that plan I can see them on jerry springer

 

I feel for ya.
