Back at last . . .

The last few weeks have been a bit crazy, including several days in London. Hadn't been back there for three years, so there was lots of catching up to do. And though there was time enough for blogging (and certainly material enough), I really don't like having recourse to the ever-dwindling number of Internet cafes out there, and I still haven't sprung for a subnotebook handy enough to carry along comfortably. I did take my T-Mobile Wi-Fi-enabled phone, but I found there are precious few open wireless networks to be found in London -- far fewer than, say, in and around Paris. Calling home to the USA worked beautifully when a network could be found. Still, it would have been easier just using a calling card with a payphone, or getting one of Orange's new Call Abroad SIM cards that lets you call to the USA for only 7p a minute. No charge for the card, you just have to put a minimum of £5 credit when you pick one up.
