*has to laugh* I love how long it takes some people to catch on to things internet-related... there's *tons* of pop-up preventing software (but ad-zapper just pissed me off and I don't like random little progs that do things automatically for me..I don't trust them), *windows* will fill in passwords, there are tone of progs that'll fill in forms, Gator deals with a lot of that as I recall...and blogger has an optional software bitlet that'll let you post to yer blog automatically. (I tried it for awhile, but it didn't work right on Rhonda..plus I had little need for it cos I don't post content from other places very often). wow.
On the other hand, this has me *mad* frickin' excited. Within a year or so, most new laptops will be wireless-internet ready, and they're working on putting in access points all over the place.. ^_____^
..what I also like about this article, is the emphasis they put on the fact that this is *mad* good for developing countries - it doesn't rely on previously existing phone lines or cable lines or *anything*, a company goes in and sticks in, I don't even know, a tower or just a building or something..admitedly, y'still need the $ for something to access the internet with, but laptop prices are dropping like mad, and cell phones frickin' go online, so, I mean...
yay.

So, in other news, spent most of last night hanging out with merani-chan & co., which was actually pretty fun. Walked Himeros home when he left after hanging out with matantis, cos his bike had a flat..it was nice, we just walked and talked, and kissed goodnight and yay. ^___^ Then I walked back home and merani&co. were hanging around outside, cos it'd finally cooled off and was nice out..this was like, what, 11, 12pm? *g*..so we sat out in the front yard for like an hour and talked and it was cool. merani was like, randomly rolling around the yard I don't even know why anymore... took us a good five minutes to get Devon to understand why her earlier comment (as she and I were playing Crash racing on the ps earlier) about "riding on the edge" was..well, yeah. *guh* *hehe* (note to megs: we were good. even merani was like, "wait, wouldn't megs be jealous?" *giggles*)... and we talked about armeggedon and how the world's going to end and when and what we thought would happen and where you go and why and limbo and all this stuff. some heavy stuff, man... *g*
And then merani rolled around in the grass and said: "Mmm, the grass smells sexy!"and we were like, dude, yer insane... and yeah. Came back in and hung around my room and stuff and they went downstairs and I dozed off at like 2.

So now there's like no-one around cos they all went to Devon's, tantis is still at work, dad's around but whatever...oo, himeros just signed back on aim. ^_^
and it's friday so it's slash night with megs. ^__^
