Another Lunch Time Post

Nian has criticised me for not posting often enough to my blog, so hopefully this will become a lunchtime habit. She has also suggested that when I do post that the posts tend to be a little on the long side (blogging from my Nokia-770 will certainly cure that).
I'm eating at Quiznos today because the web access is free. Still I had to fiddle with the connection manager before getting it to connect correctly. Next time things should go much more smoothly. I now know how to drill down to the saved connection settings and correct them when things go wrong. It turns out you must have the access key length pre-set and I had tried to enter a 10 digit code while the Nokia was still set to it's default 5. Odd that it wouldn't just figure out what protocol from how many characters you enter.
I talked to Nian just before lunch today, she'd been hard to stay in touch with because it is a special holiday there in China this week, culminating yesterday in Autumn day. All is well across the sea, though Nian is threatening to buy herself some expensive luxury in retaliation for my purchaseses without consulting her.
