Good news and bad news

The bad news is that we pay for internet usage here, and in the last two days of intensive play on [livejournal.com profile] b7_rpg I've used up over 10% of our month's allocation--go over it and it's big bucks. My playing was going to be severely curtailed when I went back to work anyway due to time zone problems, but it looks like I'll have to be very careful and limit Vila's appearances there from now on.

The good news, for what it's worth, is that I will have more time for my neglected fiction and backed-up e-mails.

That's a shame. You could save a small amount of time my typing everything beforehand then cutting and pasteing it in, less time on line.

It's not the time on-line--it's the number of pages I view, sadly, and how big they are. Some of those comment pages in the RPG get pretty large and every time I refresh one... [sigh]

Aww, poor you, and poor us. Mind perhaps I won't be late so often as I *cannot* drag myself away from B7 reborn in the mornings and have missed my ontime for work bus 4 times since it was inaugurated.

It's 6.00pm here and I'm covering a branch that's open 'til 7.00 pm and any right-minded individual will be huddled in front of their fires/ radiators. We haven't had a customer in half an hour so I've appopriated a public terminal close to the staff desk and am about to catch up on it

wow, that's a harsh system. I'd be in trouble if I was using that method. Poor you.

Now that *is* good news for us. I for one have been drooling over this PGP ever since you first mentioned it.
