Communication breakdown, it's always the same...

I've been having problems with MSN lately. For some reason people have been trying talk to me when I'm offline; I receive several messages all at once whenever I log in. I figure it's got something to do with the fact that it's through a Jabber transport but I don't care enough to do anything about it.

So if you find me particularly unresponsive, it may just be that I'm not really there. Still, it could be that I am there and just ignoring you! (Yes, Cameron, I'm talking to you!)

Worse still, I'm without an internet connection at the moment (I feel so naked!). I've changed my connection from Cable back to DSL (to try to save a little money). Although I asked them not to turn it off until Monday, I now find that the cable's not working. Sigh! So I'm checking my email only when I bring the laptop to campus.

I do love the feeling of disempowerment when one os forced to go without a technological breakthrough.

I get the feeling that if someone said "no internet or mobile for the enxt ten years" I would be fine. Possibly I woulde rejoice. But make it a week, and you get edgy.

I wonder why?

Whenever I am away from my computer and TV for an extended period, I suddenly become motivated, organised, and physically active.
