The Internet is Broken
The internet is broken. The earthquake I mentioned earlier ripped up some undersea cables outside Taiwan. I had assumed, wrongly, most international net traffic was now done through satellite. So accessing American web servers now is extremely difficult. All data is being rerouted to Europe and is getting clogged up, so pages hang endlessly. Blah. For some reason, Google still works flawlessly so I have this and my eMail working. I suspect they have an Asian mirror.
I've read it's going to that it's going to take at least two weeks to fix, so no calls home for about that long.

Just tuned in again and caught up on everything with you. Glad to hear that you are still doing well! Let me know if you ever need anything from the U.S.!
And that was weird. Everything just turned into German while I was typing. I actually got Skype working and can call landlines back home without any huge hassel. It took a few days for it to work properly, but that part of the internet seems to be working. I can view blogger, but I haven't gotten around to posting anything on it. I am going to stick to email until I'm sure it's working. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hello Trey,
try to contact you over the Emailaccount on your webpage but it don´t work. Maybe this message will reach you.
Maybe we can mail each other, I am working at Airbus plant in Hamburg and will start to work in Tianjin and I have many many questions about it.
Do you have an email adress for me?
