At the rate I’m going, I won’t actually be on the road till at least 1 pm, which means (sadly) that I won’t get there till probably 2 am. :( I really should have left yesterday. Oh well. I’ve got the housesitter set up. I’ve loaded a ton of food into the trunk. Some of the stuff is frozen fairly solid, so it should stay well chilled. All that’s left to go out there is my hair dryer and such (I really need to go dry my hair). That, and this computer, which means it’s time for me to log off. I hope to post from the road, but if that doesn’t work, I won’t be back till tomorrow.

So in my pissed-off mood, I looked about for an alternative that would not include the evil Verizon paragraph on moblog posts. I found rabble, which claims to manage such things. It is posting without garbage in the text. The downside is that I have to upload the photo and then separately post it to the site—and all that uses much more airtime. And there’s a monthly fee of $2.95 (unless I read something wrong). And, another sigh, the images go to the rabble server rather than being posted on my server. Maybe I’m better off with paragraphs of spam to delete :(

I’ll need to test it more tomorrow. I’m not sure that I have all the settings correct; but it seems like a possibility at least for this trip. Now, it’s time for bed.
