slow internet!
Aug. 2nd, 2009 11:17 amI forgot to mention, I've had slower internet from Friday. I had reached my 20 gig download limit for the month, so I was throttled back to 128 K. This has sucked; I didn't think it would so much, but it has. Internet streams keep buffering and all. But tomorrow, it gets reset.
I hadn't ever used all my 20 gigs before on my own, so, yeh, i was surprised. I am meant to be on 50 gigs, but most of that is when it's off peak and i'm always in bed by then!
I had a fun time over last night and this morning though. I ended up downloading Klango 3, cos I still only had klango 2. course, downloading took forever. I guess I've forgotten what it was like to be on dial-up, even though this is still a faster speed, Lol! that's tragic!
Anyway klango 3 is a lot different, and actually much improved! Last night, I spent my time listening to the latest Serotalk podcast on i-tunes, and it actually sounds like a decent program, and I may go try it out. course I will definitely need it if I end up with the i Phone anyway, but my only real concern is that I wouldn't want it to take over everything, cos I still enjoy winamp for listening to my media. I just like the sound of i-tunes for being able to rent or buy movies, TV shows and music. wow, wouldn't I be in heaven if Neighbours was on there, but I doubt it as I'm not sure how much Aussie material would be on there; maybe a bit, who knows?!
But, yeh, Michael L was using jaws, and it sounded pretty accessable which i was surprised about cos I heard once upon a time, that it wasn't.
Then I listened to the other half of of the Blind world podcast on the apple i Phone, as I had fallen asleep during my first attempt. I fell asleep last night too, but I heard the rest this morning.
While I was able to hear the serotalk one OK on Klango, the other kept buffering, so I ended up just listening to it on my drive.
I use to use Klango to socially network, but then I was only using it for my ppodcasts of which I have all my favourites on my playlist on there. But this morning, I took a look at the other new features and joined the talks group on there.
I miss streaming though and I await tomorrow! :)
I am going to Kristy's later for top Dog Day; it's a great idea. Think I'll be training it at this stage.
Til Next time, RdFreak
