Now I know I've really begun parade preparations: I've had my first stupid and fruitless conversation with Verizon. All I need is to find out about the options and prices for data connectivity, but it's nearly impossible to get them to understand what I want. "No, I don't need to buy your mobile office kit. I already have the cable and software. All I need is access. No, I don't need your software. No really, I have a Mac, which you don't support, so your software wouldn't work for me anyway. Believe it or not, it's possible to use your phone as a modem without buying your cable and software. I've done it before. Please, just tell me what number to dial. Really!" I swear, I think the woman was reading her information off their website. She knew less about how their data connectivity works than I do. Next time I'll go straight to tech support instead of wasting my time with customer service.
At least the trial run worked. I don't have the cams yet so all I did was dial in using the cell phone as a modem. Seemed to work just fine! The Maccellphone group hasn't failed me yet.
Also got the web site revision well under way. And made hotel reservations for us and Peggy and Chris. We got a group rate as part of the art car parade, the hotel is really close to the parade staging area, and best of all, free high speed internet in the rooms! Yay!
Now to tackle the moblog again. I am going to get that thing working, by god!
