ydoaPs Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'll be going underway for about a month starting Monday. We'll be doing flight deck certification and carrier quals. That means no SFN for me for the next month. Try not to miss me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNow Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Curious - Why do those activities preclude SFN posting during your down-time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 No access to the internet when underway. Ships and boats don't have cable. It tends to give away their position and restrict their movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes good sense. Thanks for the quick response, guys. While lately you're in IRC more than the forums, I (for one) will be glad when you return. Cheers, my fellow heathen. Safe travels.

Baby Astronaut Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Or no plug-ins for the transatlantic cable along the way? It might be dial-up, but likely you can still find AOL beer coasters laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 What, no satellite internet? I think you don't want to be stealing that bandwidth. Think "Arthur Dent making tea on the Heart of Gold." "Why the hell can't we download that encrypted communication faster?" "Be patient, Captain. MM2 YDOAPS is posting something to SFN. And downloading pr0n."
