So as most of you know I built a new house that is way up in the country. We are about 10 miles up the hill and then 700ft off the road. It is exactly everything that I have always wanted, but there is one no make that two drawbacks to living up here.. One is, there is no natural gas lines so I must heat with wood.. Takes up some time and is hard work splitting and cutting and stacking but no big deal.. Propane is pretty expensive so I'll stick with wood or coal for now seeing i'm still young enough to do it.. BUT the biggest drawback is the internet service.. There is no cable internet up here and I MISS IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! We have been using satellite internet and OMG it's killing me.. At max I can get 1.5mbps... Normally I run around 1mbps.. I click on a link and I have time to go to the bathroom and take a leak and when I return it's just finishing loading.. grrrrrrrr.. But I deal with it cause I love my new house and being so far out. (sick of people :) )
Welllllll I received a call today from our satellite company and they have just launched there new satellite in space and it now offers 12mbps.. I was getting around 15 with cable so this is fantastic news.. Not only for me but also for the game as now I won't have to stay at the office later to make all of these changes..
Ok well just wanted to share.. I am now going to go outside on the deck and scream to the wild animals.. Clearly they won't be as excited as I am but screw them.. They will either be happy for me or we'll be having them for dinner tomorrow night.. :)
