Woo-hoo! The nominees are in! Cool! But... oh boy. I think I've got some reading to do...
Thanks to Alt-KComm for their impressive work so far!
And... wow! Thanks to everyone who nominated me! In 4 categories, no less! I'm shocked. Especially about "Best Comments Giver." How the heck did I get onto that list?
Lois Lane Wanna Be... It's *possible* that you'll be able to make it. Ship to shore net time is not, in my limited experience, cheap, fast, or at all reliable. You're out in the ocean, trying to maintain a satellite connection
while moving with who knows what going on overhead and sharing what bandwidth you can get with a bunch of other people. Not to mention the fact that bandwidth priority (quite reasonably) goes to crew members keeping track of things like GPS and weather conditions. So, expect a slow, shaky connection for which you're charged by the minute.
Theoretically, you'll be able to log in via the undernet's web java portal. Remember this URL:
http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php (Or just remember to go to
http://www.undernet.org and then click on "webchat.")
It doesn't always work, but it's your best bet from one of the ship's terminals. You might want to try it out from home first, so you can get used to the interface.
Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who nominated me! I'm looking forward to the ceremony!
In the meantime, I think I've got some homework to do...
