Away... and without Email!

[seawasp]

I'm heading out tomorrow for a conference in Washington, DC (well, actually, Crystal City, but same area). I won't be back until late Wednesday.

And today my Precioussss, my computer, decides it no longer has need of a recharging board.

So it's in the shop, and won't be done until I'm  gone, so for the first time in a long time I will be several days without any access to my Email, and only sporadic access to LJ or the web in general.

Just so everyone knows.

Oh no! I hope you don't go into digital withdrawal. Do you at least have stuff to read?

Safe travel. Good luck at the conference.

Netbooks may not be all that good, but this is the situation that I got mine for! Away from home for a week or more and it does the job just fine! Well except for the crap keyboard! If I was still working, I'd buy you one and send it to you!

The problem is that without MY machine that would be of minimal utility; mine has all the presets so I can access my mail, website, etc. I don't even remember what the passwords are to most of them any more.

It's pretty easy to migrate your bookmarks, passwords etc to the other machine, in most cases! What I can't migrate I cn hand copy over! then again I am a Linux user and your experience with Windows may vary! 8-) Firefox and Thunderbird allow me to use the master password to retrieve my stored passwords, so I can put them on my netbook, if I want to! Though mostly I don't want them on that machine, I have watched to many internet videos of laptops being stolen to do that!

Of course it's easy to migrate them. All you need is "the other machine" and "the first machine". I have only ONE computer of my own, and thus when it's down, I'm pretty much hosed. (an iPhone does not count).
