Incommunicado
22 January 2005 12:35Brandie here. (Do you feel better now, Tim?)
Just wanted to make sure that every body knows that we will be moving into our own apartment at the end of the month and will lose internet access at that time. I have no idea how long it will take for us to get a fiber optic line installed to regain access. Yes, I wrote "fiber optic." Jealous? When we do get the line, we are looking into a company called Vonage that offers unlimited calling within the US and Canada for $30 per month and calls to Italy for three cents a minute. This is useful two ways, 1) We will have a US phone number, so calling friends and family is included in the plan, and 2) There is no phone line in the apartment (apparently not uncommon here,odd) so we couldn't use the local phone service unless we had a phone line installed as well. This is the plan for now and is subject to change at any time for any reason.
I had more to say, but Bart came in and we started talking, so now I have completely forgotten what I was going to write. Hmmm. I'll be back later if I can remember.
