from the free Carnegie library
I can't wait, I have a cable guy coming on tuesday to install coimcast cable and a modem line. I wonder if the service is any better than Adelphia. The rates are just as high. $58 a month. Why are broadband connections so pricey??
Anybody have any thoughts?
It would be so nice if there was a free open wireless network everywhere!
Yes, some jobs would be lost, but there will always be a need for support and help desk people.

my first post from Carnegie PA
The big move is partially over. I can't wait till I have broadband access from my apt.!
I am posting this entry from a café with free wi-fi. At least I can drive 5 minutes away and get access. It is very weird to not be "connected"! This is the first time in 6 years I haven't had access.
Well, I got to go, I have to contact the school and do some more unpacking.

Pictures coming soon!

World of Warcraft Community!!
Yesterday, while playing WoW, a character walked up to me and asked if I would help them out with a quest. I always help if I am not busy myself. But I was on a quest with a group of people.

This character then asked again, and told me that he/she was the child of a different character I had met a day or two earlier. So, I convinced my current group to help this poor loner out. In the end, we all completed our quests and everyone was happy!

Later on that evening, the father of the kid I just helped, logged online just to thank me for helping his kid. How cool is that.

I just thought this was a great example of what (e:strip) is all about. Building a community to help counteract the effects of the computer in todays society.

on a less philosophical note,

My character in WoW is
Llolth

I am on the Skywall server.
send me a message if you want to team up, it would be cool to meet an estrip'r on the online world.

looking for work and WoW
Soon, I will be a job searcher again. It has been a while since I had to go on an interview. After I move to PA on 08.07.05, I will need to look for a job.Lukily, I haven't had to do much interviewing in my life, jobs have just sort of "fallen into my lap." This may seem like a good thing, but now I have little experience to draw on.

Do any of you (e:strip)'rs have ideas of where I can start looking in Pittsburgh, Pa. In reality, I am just looking for someplace to start networking.

I haven't tried to publish from my phone as of yet, but I plan on trying to do so in the next few days. Paul, I will let you know if there seem to be any bugs.

Lastly, here is a screenshot of my character in World of Warcraft.

Poultrygeist and World of Warcraft
I wanted to go to the open auditions, but sadly I am moving to Carnegie, PA on August 7. Since the filming doesn't start till later in the month, I felt it a waste of my time. Time is so precious!
I have been playing World of Warcraft lately, that game is so addictive.

Are any (e:strip)'rs currently playing World of Warcraft???
If so, maybe we can have a virtual meeting. Let me know what server you are on and your character's name, and I will send ytou m y info!

Sorry, this post is just my random thoughts at the time....

I have a new computer at work, and I decided that the new mac keyboards are harder to type on than the older black, G4 keyboards. I don't like the angle:(

Back to moving,
I am going to miss Buffalo and the friends I have here, but it is time to move. AIP here I come. I plan on posting often, to give you buffalonians a taste of Pittsburgh!
