-{Citizen}- Vultus: alright, doing something I've never done
before...Threshing from 30,000 feet.
-{Citizen}- Khaltek: type "crash plane" and see if it works
-{Citizen}- Gesslar: /parachute
-{Citizen}- Nephrys grins
-{Citizen}- Vultus grins, "Heh heh heh!"
-{Citizen}- Gesslar: NEPHRYS
-{Citizen}- Nephrys: WHAT
-{Citizen}- Gesslar: i want to know how to say something in Russian
-{Citizen}- Nephrys: Okay.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins at Khaltek
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Vultus, very good! What's your connection?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Are you on a commercial airliner?
-{Citizen}- Vultus: Nostrovia, that's about the extent of my russian
-{Citizen}- Ivyann blushes
-{Citizen}- Vultus: I am and its pretty good, Wi-Fi - testing it for
work...but since I'm connected might as well be unproductive
-{Citizen}- Saorise: That is fantastic.
-{Citizen}- Saorise gives Vultus a high-five!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I disagree. Might as well be productive.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: (By threshing, of course.)
-{Citizen}- Saorise: "Test this connection".. "OOooo threshold!"
-{Citizen}- Rosuav nods at Saorise
-{Citizen}- Vultus chuckles
-{Citizen}- Valxe: MUDding is actually a pretty accurate way to test if
you're on a decent connection or not
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: An accurate measure of latency. Maybe not of
throughput.
-{Citizen}- Saorise: That's your excuse and you are sticking to it.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: But yeah. If you want to know if the connection is
stable, definitely.
--- much later ---
-{Citizen}- Vultus: alright, for those of you interested...the wifi on the
plane was pretty good. Much better for Threshing than for my
VPN though. A little spotty when chunks of data were involved.
Not sure I'd trust it for dangerous situations yet. ;)
