Why am I posting to IJ, you may ask? At least, I hope you're asking, because I really hope somebody's reading this.

It is because, my friends, I cannot access LJ right now. At all.

It started Tuesday night (my time) while I was reading fic on SGA_Flashfic. Suddenly I couldn't open any new pages--I was getting a time-out error after just a few seconds. Same with my friends page, the main page, the support page, and the secure server. In Firefox 3.0.3 and IE.

I assumed it was a site cough and let it be, for a while, but the longer it went on the weirder it felt...so I verified with Zorb that no, it's not the whole site, it's just me. ::sigh::

I had E put in a Support request for me, basically just to ask if LJ knows WTF is going on. The paranoid part of me is wondering whether Kazakhtelecom is censoring LJ for some reason, because at this point, I can't think of any cause for the problem local to my computer. MA's internet is still not hooked up at the new place, but she said she'd check tomorrow whether she can open LJ.

THIS IS WEIRD YOU GUYS.

Especially because I just mainlined a bunch of SGA and want to squee about it with people. Teyla! Rodney! Sam! Woolsey is Percy Weasley! Kanaan is Male Model Number Seven! I don't think these first three episdoes of Season Five really make sense! EEEEE!

One of the many joys of taking Fortitudium on day trips to the city: I can plug him in at Net City and, for 220/hour, use my own damn computer for the internet. Win!

Of course, after four months without an active internet connection, I keep having to shut off various automatic updates. But I can use Semagic and Firefox and actually get through all my email, even reply to some of it! This is exciting! The connection's not fast enough to download any really large files (nothing, say, 350 mb, for instance) but I don't care. I can has internets. ::pets it::

Three more backdated entries posted. Now I have to go download work-related things before lunch with MA's host family.

So the internet access at school didn't really work out like we'd planned; not only do we need the director's permission every time, we have to track down a computer teacher to supervise us, and at least one of them has hit on all three females in our group. So I'm in Almaty right now, and I just posted a shit-ton of backdated journal entries--Sept. 7 to present. I also uploaded some photographs here.

I am looking into how dial-up access works in this country, but first I have to figure out if Fort has an internal modem. Just know that I am well, the weather is getting cold, and Team Awkward Turtle is made of win. Oh, and Russian is fine, except for all the words.

This is it. I have no idea when I'll next be able to update or check my flists. I want to thank everyone for the good wishes and positive comments; you have no idea what they mean to me. I'll catch you all later from the other side of the world.

This is seriously it, folks. I have no clue when I'm next going to be able to update this thing or read my flists. Thanks everyone for the good wishes and positive comments; you have no idea how much I appreciate them. I will catch you later from the other side of the world.
