I've had a few people ask me what the point of this site is when we won't be able to update the site whilst we're actually on the Job, so to speak. Ah, ye naysayers - fear the awesome power of technology as I reveal that we have laptop and GPRS connection! That's right - we'll be updating this weblog wirelessly from within the car whilst driving, and without a mobile phone in sight! Well, that's the theory anyway. As I write this, I'm sitting in my lounge using the GPRS card to update this remotely - but that's with a known excellent Vodafone coverage. Once we're in France/Italy - who knows what the connection quality will be like? I'm optimistic though - the Europeans have always been excellent in terms of mobile coverage. Combine that with the fact that the car doesn't travel very fast - we're therefore likely to be able to negotiate the various network handshakes, and we're laughing. Until we break down. Then we'll just be two geeks with steaming mini and a wireless web connection in a layby. Which is sad, frankly. Still, at least you'll know about it. |

Geeks! I think that earthing tool that you have will be of more use than you think. You can never be too careful. |
