I am in the Eastern Time zone but I don't think I will be able to do an IRC watch with you for one main reason. My home internet is crap. I am dial up and I literally live in a tele-communication dead zone. I don't even have cable (being from Canada) I still run my t.v. off of the analog signal. We're losing that August 31st 2011.
Cable is suppose to arrive by June, and as there is on going high-way construction near my house, Bell (the main tele-communication company) has to move all of their wires from one side of the high-way to the other. Sadly this means that when/if I get a better connection it will be just as the first half of the season ends.
We were suppose to have cable t.v. and internet by the end of March, and gave up Christmas and birthday presents to save money for a new Hi-def t.v and new lap top ONCE we got cable.
And no, satellite won't work. There are too many trees around my house and I can't get 10 degrees off of the horizon. My cell phone (which runs off the Bell network) only has 2 bars of reception and that's if I'm in one particular room, by the window, on a clear day, in the winter when there are no leaves.
So yeah, I'm a bit fed up with the whole situation. My best connection is at work and luckly my LJ is not blocked by the server. It's also the reason for why I'm never on-line on the weekends. That and I make sure to 'unplug' for at least those two days.
