Not that I'm complaining...

...being the uberwired geekette that I am, but it's kinda weird...

Krystals is offering free wi-fi on my end of town, as is Taco Bell.

I dunno, it just seems a little...weird...

I'm grateful, mind you, but the concept makes my mind boggle.

I can't imagine sitting and surfing at Taco Bell with a stack of tacos next to me. And then staying on for another 30 minutes just to catch up with the latest news.

Or polishing off some cheese Krystals while I check my email. Or IM some friends.

I guess Taco Bell or Krystals aren't places I think of lingering for an extended period of time. It seems very natural at a bookstore or coffee house. These are places built for lingering. But...guys...fast food joint implies you wanna get in and get out quick. Food brothels, if you will. ;)

You wanna make a bazillion dollars in Pensacola? You build a Starbucks on the west side, near the Navy base. Add in a Krispy Kreme franchise. Then throw in wi-fi. Heck, a few thin clients for checking/sending email or browsing. Sugar and caffeine and internet access and hordes of young Navy students just a short walk/drive away. Sure-fire winner.

Battling addiction

Okay, so I have one last new feature to add to this web app I'm working on, but a part of me can't help but rail that, "I could be earning another level now!" Currently I'm level 15 and about 2/3rds. So close to level 16.
( Cut for much game talk )

So I've learned to manage the whole addiction thing. I've got very strict rules. A new one is that I'm not allowed to play until I have done useful things around the house. I put away laundry, cleaned up the kitchen, got Christmas decorations stashed (they were boxed up and cluttering up the upstairs hallway). Getting to play is a reward for good behavior. It's not a right. :)
