Wooo-woooo!

(subject line displays recent activity of my train)

*This* time I'm really on the train while posting! Wooo! Maddeningly slow -- yay latency. I think I'm a couple cars ahead of the access point, plus it's cell-to-satellite-to-internet so not great anyway.

I'm getting awesome errors, like this one:

An outstanding acknowledge pdu was not received in time (probably high udp data loss)
The enhancement client proxy could not communicate with the server proxy.

If you contact your satellite service provider because of this message, please include a copy of your Log File.

It reminds me of that guy who watching himself as he was routed over the Atlantic on an internet-equipped flight. Yay for nifty uselessness.

Well, useful sorta. But until it works better, useless. Also, it should be free with my ticket. But that would require more government funding for VIA, so it ain't gonna happen.

I'd consider a Kitchener-Toronto commute if VIA gave free wireless access to passengers with commuter passes.

You'll note that I said consider.
