clo_againI have Disapproval (I want to find that glaring baby 'DISAPPROVAL: YOU'LL KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT" macro to link to there but I don't want to open all the Google pages to find it, as will be explained shortly) for my hostel's wifi system. Every other hostel I've been in has had a time-based system, so you pay for how long you're on and get unlimited access in that time. Simple. While writing long LJ entries, I could simply log off then log back on to post. If wanted to Google the weather tomorrow, I could go through a million weather pages as long as I did it quickly. Sorted.
Except in this hostel (which in every other way is wonderful, so I'm a little bitter that they come with a BUT) operates a per-megabyte system. Which means EVERY SINGLE PAGE I LOAD, including for LJ comments, to upload pictures to Facebook (which ate a comparatively huge chunk of my credit yesterday so y'all can wait for pictures for a few days. Especially since my hostel in Franz Josef potentially has FREE INTERNET *glees*) logging into LJ eats my credit. It's insane. I might actually just stick to the hostel's own computers which are $2 for half an hour (cheaper than the north island!) but they won't let you put photos on them. Sigh.
I'm mainly sulking because the ferry trip yesterday somehow turned from a grey, slightly bumpy ride into a sunshine-filled turquoise millpond of prettiness, and today I did a four hour (it turned into five and a half hour walk when we hung out on the beach for ages because it was so beautiful) walk through Abel Tasman National Park, so I have many pretty pictures waiting to eat my internet.
(There's a guy playing guitar and singing about searching New Zealand for chocolate pudding, because we get free chocolate pudding here every night. This hostel is *hilarious*.)
Tomorrow I am going horse riding for the first time in seven years. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES. Possibly involving bruises.
I have to post this quick now before GNW downloading eats my remining megabytes and I can't buy anymore until tomorrow because reception is closed. Woe for silly internet.

Date: 2009-05-13 10:30 pm (UTC)My stupid internet does mean I have to wait to download the latest Good News Week podcast though. *sadness* (You are totally having Paul McDermott inflicted on you when I get back. I'm bringing the Doug Anthony Allstars DVD to London with me. In the meantime, Paul McDermott is the one getting sexually assaulted by Ross Noble here. If British comedy made as many jokes about their comedians being gay as Australian comedy does we'd be texting each other going "OMG STEPHEN FRY JUST KISSED ALAN" etc all the time. It's all kinds of awesome.)
Until I can inflict Paul McDermott's sexual ambiguity on you though, hang in there by the way. *hugs* The rest of this year will get better. Even if I have to bring rabid koalas back with me to set on your manager.
