Don’t panic! 8^P
At least not yet.
Those of you who read the blog should have figured out by now that I’m moving from Chicago to North Carolina (y’all). I’ve made an offer on a condo and they’ve accepted. Closing date will probably be around the 11th of October. I have to be gone from the apartment with this fine Xfinity service from Comcast by the end of October (assuming things go as planned)
Time Warner Cable may or may not be willing to let a web server hang off a residential connection. Pricing is higher than Comcast. uVerse is not an option at the address I’m moving to – the best I can do is DSL with 6Mb down, 512 kb up – that’s not fast enough for the web site unless I really tighten up the page sizes again.
If you feel the instinct to bring up the subject of asking for donations, etc… keep your hands in your pockets. 🙂 I’m just chafing a bit at the combination of the iPhone internet Bill + Cable Internet. At least I am not paying for TV 8^P
No matter what, expect a period of time when you’re on your own for a few days to find something else to do 🙂
We will go with the flow during the transition. Of course you already know there are lots of people who visit and few of us even like your blogs and banter back ‘n forth. But, as always, do what it is you want to do without worrying too much over us.
Hope your move goes smoothly with no unpleasant surprises.
Sprint and T-Mobile sell unlimited data plans..
If your condo is across from McDonald’s you can log into their free WiFi. 😉
(Actually, most McDonalds use ATT and they will disconnect you over time. I have heard that some services will actually block your MAC address if you are on too long.)
I often forget to paste in my source http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2013/05/05/pegoraro-unlimited-data-plans/2132895/
You don’t want this server hanging from a cell phone hot spot!
My iPhone has me enslaved for another 9 months or so. It’s cost is high because I added unlimited texting for the pages from work (which I no longer do) and I have the original AT&T unlimited data plan that I don’t need – 95% of the time I’m on wifi. I could probably do just fine with an iPad mini or android tablet with Skype for my infrequent phone calls. So what if people think it is odd that I talk to my tablet. I wasn’t even sure the hand me down iPad v1 had a microphone until the other day. Lack of a camera is a good thing.
Here is what I recommend for you, Art. (based on my stalking 😉 )

It is a small one time free and then unlimited monthly calls with no more fees. You do actually need to provided a credit card so that can hit it with the monthly fees to pay for all those Obamaphones, but that goes to the government, not the vendor.
Everybody join in now:
“Keep Obama in president, you know
He gave us a phone, he gonna do more
You on food stamps
You on sosh security
You got low income
You disability
MINORITY GOT OBAMA PHONE…
…
ROMNENY? He suck!”
For you peeps that enjoy Rush/Hannity/Levin (especially Rush’s parody songs) and have never enjoyed Mike Church on SiriusXM, enjoy this parody song from Mr. Church – he is quite talented and not available elsewhere:

My cousin took his old iPhone, has AT&T unlock it, then T-Mobile has some pay as you go plans, or a $30/month with 5 GB / month. A lot depends on whether I’m working.
Just installed talkatone on my iPhone – it is similar to Skype, but let’s you make free outgoing phone calls in conjunction with Google Talk.
Nono! The purpose of the credit card is to identify you to the NSA. We can’t have people making unmonitored anonymouse communications.
Most phone vendors will unlock the phones for you to use on other carriers, just give a call before an overseas trip so you can use an overseas SIM card and save big money.
Better still is rooting the phone so you have admin rights on the phone. It is useful for installing an ad blocking program that sits between your apps and the carrer and for installing VPN software if you are going overseas and need an IP address in the western world.
Red Alert red alert chaos ! OH No, no SRG,, running around the living room with my hair on fire !

Can you get your money back?
It didn’t work for my mum. 😉
BREAKING NEWS: Michael Savage announced tonight that he would indeed be moving to the 3-6 pm ET timeslot for Cumulus Media Networks in January, as he predicted about a month ago.
Sean Hannity previously announced that he would vacate that slot on Cumulus stations.
Savage read from a Cumulus news release which said he would be heard on WABC New York, WLS Chicago, WBAP Dallas, WMAL Washington, KSFO San Francisco and WJR Detroit.
