dude - I used to work a place that had 56k... it fucking sucks. you might as well take a shower, or wash dishes or vacuum or something every time you load a page!! sorry to hear that you have to dea with it for a week!! laaame!
That really blows! You should get an internet card through Rogers or Bell, so you can have high speed anywhere you go. I would totally have this if I traveled as much as you do.
Oooo internet card? How does that work?

I think I will need to invest in wireless. I've spent nearly $30 today on access alone and that doesn't include the costs of the other times I have been online whilst here in Darwin. ARGH! Damn you stripperweb! Damn you for being addictive... damn my addiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh damn myspace too for being addictive as well! ARGH!

It's because it's a shit website. Poor design. Poor servers. Poor profiles. The ability to customize has gone so far you can't even load anything.
The ONLY reason I have one (and if you look, it has NO music, NO movies and maybe 5 whole blogs) is because it was the only way I could contact some friends.
Shit shit shit shit shit.

^^Myspace is my favorite site after SW. Customization is fun!!!





^ It took over two minutes to load your page on high speed and it stutters when it scrolls because there's too many things on it.
Which was entirely my point.
FUCK now I can't even get your page to scroll at ALL.

I never have a problem loading any of my friends pages. And we all have tons of pics, etc.

Oh, I understand that. But I go on new pages and don't have a problem with it either. So many people hate on it, but it's really popular for a reason. It's fun!
Ho-ly-shit LR... pretty page, but it takes FOREVER to fully load and I have fast connections.
^^I may take down some of the graphics, so it's just slides. Haha, there's still a Valentines Day one up. You should see my friends page - she has more pics than me and none of them are in slides.





No, it's the slides that makes it all slow, not 99% of the images. Maybe compress them into on or two slides?

Y'know there is an alternate option for mobile internet that everyone prolly already has- cellphones. Although if you have a prepaid cell you can stop reading, but if you have a postpaid account with a major carrier and a semi-recent cellphone you can possibly 'tether', aka use your cell as a modem. Speeds aren't blazing but they're all faster than dialup now (I'm using it now, 115K), and it will work anywhere your cell works. The potentially bad news is that AFAIK every carrier charges for this 'data access' by the pound, or KB transferred as it were- the one exception being T-mobile, who just charge a flat rate per month, unmetered.





Phones can't pick up myspace, it's not coded correctly.. at least, if you're using the Internet through it.. if you're hooking up a lappy to it that's a whole other story.

FYI using your cell as a modem in conjuction with a laptop or PC is called tethering. Otherwise yeah, most cellphones themselves can only render WAP content, and the few that can do more still have a screen the size of a credit card at best, sooooo... back to tethering. T-mobile ppl hear me out especially, they really shine in this dept but don't advertise it.
You need:
A Bluetooth-enabled cellphone with data capability; I use a Nokia 6133.
Data service/add-on from your carrier; for me that's T-mo's $5/mo mobile web.
Laptop/PC with bluetooth; I have a laptop with a USB adapter.
Pair the cellphone and laptop/PC via bluetooth, natch, then use included bluetooth software to dial a data connection (pics)
For me that's a 115K unmetered mobile internet connection for an extra 5 bucks a monthYMMV with other carriers, some can actually go faster but again AFAIK everyone else charges based on data transferred so it can get pricey.
WOW, I'd never heard of thetehring before, sounds cool! How would I knowif my computer is bluetooth compatible?I have no issues now but it's good info to use.
I can't stand the pages taking so long to load up either but it's not so bad as it used to be. I use Mozilla and have a fast connection but think it should be faster yet it's not due to al the external sites loading on a page at the same time. It's fasterr if ppl get rid of these and put their pics in the PICS section of myspace rather than on the page itself.




Holy overkill on the slideshows. The background is a bit hard on the eyes and not really "web pretty" either.
As someone else said, the only reason I have a myspace is so that some old friends can contact me if need be. Myspace needs to be put out of its misery.
Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
I must say I find it amusing that you seem to dislike myspace so much but have your page in your sig. If I hated it but had it to k.i.t. with old friends I wouldn't have it in my sig where any of the 10090 people on SW could find you... just a thought... made me chuckle.
