January 22, 2008darn thee european internetI'm in Switzerland. The internet is atrocious and hella expensive so I won't be online (or handling much email) this week. Bear with me.

Been there, done that. Especially if you're in Basel. But you're probably in Davos. And that was last May. Beautiful country, beautiful friendly people. Most of my 'net time was scarfed where my wife was working at. Hey, I wasn't getting paid for being the network/system admin work I was doing anyways.

That would be at the conference focussing on "collaborative innovation" I assume. ;)

Unless you just made this up in order to undisturbedly enjoy our wonderful mountainscape, I'm willing to provide free internet and electric power in exchange for a chat about social networking in Switzerland. :)

Let me ask you, since you give yourself the right to insult not only a foreign country but a whole continent: how many times have you visited Europe? Do you think this gives your the right, not only to insult but even pass judgment on the quality of the net there?
If so, this tells enough about the relevance of your other posts.
For your info: it shouldn't be darn 'European, not even Swiss nor Davos but probably' the-place-you're-currently-staying-in connection to the net.

Weren't you mocking the usual grossly over-reacting American cow-boy, once out of his Mudville? If not. . . Well: you did.
