Cable? How quaint.

The only internet access I had in Ireland was through this broadband cable in the hotel room. I think I am spoiled with wireless for a cable seems quite quaint and I wasn't sure where to stick it into the laptop.

I should be happy there was a cable in the hotel though. Internet cafes seemed to close around six and most of my websurfing was done after ten.

Internet

It's really weird having no internet access for three days in a row. And it's rather weird that I think having no internet is weird. But there you have it, I'm a 21st century teenager and addicted to the web.

With that observation made, I shall also note that bed and breakfasts in small seaside towns in Ireland don't have wireless and all internet cafes close at six o'clock. So I am coming off from an internet fast. It was rather interesting and rather strange. And I had a whole pile of e-mails when I finally got back on the web yesterday.
