or "Microphone Check 1, 2, 1, 2"

I've been off of the net here for a few days, so I'll explain the
"sitch". We landed, began to get settled and situated, and start
linking up with our counterparts. First step: Have network accounts
established. Boom, done. Next step: Work with counterparts to get into
the systems and start establishing communications and introductions
with the good-to-know points of contact. Ehhh, working. The guy that
sits in my (soon to be) seat is always on the computers, and when he
leaves he frequently forgets to log off. Being that I'm not that much
of a AH, I don't restart the computer to kick him off. The other side
of this is my refusal to pay excessive amounts of $ for the civilian
internet here. I'll stop in at the USO and connect to the free Wi-Fi
to get quick updates or check emails. Otherwise, I'm "bare-knuckle
expeditionary" blogger. Oh, and when I do get into the government
computer system, the restrictions block the blogspot.com site.

In an attempt to work around this, I jumped on USO Wi-Fi early this
morning and changed the settings on blogspot to allow me to post via
email.

If this test works, I'll drop another today...and continue to craft
the BAF-fling post.

Science!
