Without it, we wouldn't have been able to stay in India as long as we are. My job provides remote access to my computers back in Seattle via the Internet (i.e. no 3rd-party software like PCAnywhere to install), which allows me to work from here, or anywhere with Internet access, for that matter. Who would've thunk this ten years ago? So far this past week, it's worked out quite well...much better than I expected, despite locally-scheduled brownouts from 8am-10am. My in-laws set up a broadband-connected computer just 6 feet from our bed, so my "commute" is shorter than it's ever been.
Right now, however, something's amiss. Not on the India side, but rather on the Seattle side....both my computers are "offline", meaning they've likely been powered down for some reason. I'm guessing it may have something to do with major remodeling my employer is doing near my office. I've emailed them to look into it....hoping they'll come back online soon....
