Cool Internet Stuff!

So, my Quechua instructor lives in Calca, a (somewhat) rural town about
an hour from Cusco, a little bit out of town, where he can't get
internet (or mail, for that matter). So we've made some arrangements
together to do this cellular internet thing, which appears to be
working. Fabulous. The deal is that you get this nifty little USB
modem, plug it into your computer, and connect to the internet through
the cellular network.

The setup is a pain in the ass, because the software that comes with the
modem is terrible, but a little bit of internet searching (thank
goodness I also have wireless internet in the house at the moment) and
it works just fine.

Makes my day.

Now, to get some work done...
