$50? I'm paying more for less. >_<

I'm paying about half that for an HTC Wildfire with 500mb data. I only use it for reading fanfic so I've never exceeded that anyway.

That's cool ... I actually do work with mine, though.  And the tethering lets me use my non 4G ipad anywhere, thanks to tethering, so I am literally 2 minutes away from a workstation anytime, and anywhere (with coverage :3).

If I find my data usage is less, I'll probably bump it down, but I think I'm at the minimum for free tethering ... which I'm pleased with.  Means I can put off rooting my phone for a bit.
I handle other fanfic authors Nanoha-style.  Grit those teeth!  C&C incoming!
Prepare to be befriended!

What sort of work do you do with it?

I use iSSH on my ipad for [covered by nda].  The phone provides a tether.  It's great to get into the lab from wherever. :3

Meh.

There's enough work to be done without setting yourself up to labor away anytime, anyplace.

Depends on your field, I guess.  Works great for me, though.

I got to work from home this morning, AND when I flamed someone who couldn't take constructive criticism for a Haruhi fic, I actually called her a little girl in my dismissive final response.

Man, I feel filled to the brim with evil today.

Time to work from the office and drive fear into the hearts of men. :3

What fic was so bad, Brian?

It wasn't that terrible....  Actually, no, wait, it was.

But the flames were for me saying, "I'm not reading this anymore."  And complaining that my posts weren't productive, etc.

If you really want to read some badfic, though:

Or you can skip straight to the reviews:

There's some conversation that's not worth sharing; basically, she replied in a PM, and I replied to that and apologized to her.  ("I'm sorry I mistook you for someone who was mature enough to accept constructive criticism.  It was a mistake I won't repeat.")  For some reason, this seemed to upset her, and her response to that was less flattering.

I replied that she'd wasted enough of my time and blocked her to prevent further.

After I called her a little girl, since maturity seemed to be an issue.

My parents are here for a visit and today was a BEAUTIFUL DAY. Thank you for not raining on us, Niagara valley.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The reviving of fanfic talk seems to have added about hundred or so posts a month.

Bringing us to the meger 500 posts a month or so.
Well, Goodbye.

Anastasia

Go us! Clearly we need more awesome people around here.

Yeah.  Our anti-social leader shall go recruit some.

Or burn down a fora.  Either or.

Well, Goodbye.
