Dear Lazyweb,

Tell me about 3G [edit: yes, of course I mean cell modem] USB dongles and (Ubuntu) Linux

Love and kisses, Adam

I have nothing useful to say except I haven't heard the word dongle in a million years.

[ironicminx]

Same general idea, but I wanted to add that "dongle" always sounded like a dirty word to me and made me giggle a little. Also, I'm surviving off of twizzlers and diet dew as of late so a LOT of things make me giggle these days. Yay finals.

Incidentally, you don't have a Palm-powered phone (like a Treo or Centro), do you?

[teferi]

Nope, my personal phone is a Blackberry. It works as a cellmodem, but it's only EDGE, so it's sloooow and laaaaaaaaaggy.

Background for this: we're doing on-call at work now, and bossman has offered to buy a datacard for the person on the hook on a given night to use.

How are you liking island life? I've heard a lot from Cat, but not much from you. Besides a silly photo of happy dogs in snow.

Ah, I see. (The reason I ask about a Palm cellmodem is cause I heard stories that people got it working with Ubuntu. I'm gonna try that out myself)

As for island life - hey, I'm workin' on it! :) I made some posts, some moar are coming.
