Goodnight and Sweet Repose (in General)


Apollo October 14 2008 2:38 PM EDT

Okay, so I know I am new, but work related stuff will take me away from here for about a half a year? Although I am student of literature, I am also a keen historian, and am traveling to Greece to study the Byzantine Empire, and I am hopefully going to be carrying out a little research to use in my doctorate (if all goes according to plan), and then, I will only have one more to go! I have enjoyed my four days! Will see you all in around six months.

That's freaking sweet! Good luck in Greece!

Apollo October 14 2008 2:45 PM EDT

Well I am actually looking forward to going, and this was originally cancelled as I ran out of money, but its all a scholarship now and all I have to do in return, are give a few speeches and write quite a few essays, but with so many (12) years at university, I have actually begun to enjoy them!

Sorry to see you leave so soon, but good luck with the research!

Don't forget to write us every now and then.
This might come as a surprise, but Greece is up-to-date and people there do have internet and computers, so don't be a stranger and drop a comment whenever you can.
And good luck with all the history research.
If you don't mind sharing, I'm sure interested in your findings about the Byzantines.

Good Luck, have tons of fun, see the sights, and don't forget about us little guys here hanging on every word you will have to say about your trip when you get time ^_^

Does CB work on a phones wap/internet does anyone know?

Wizard'sFirstRule October 14 2008 4:48 PM EDT

should be fine.

Apollo October 14 2008 4:52 PM EDT

Well, CB on a phone may get tedious after half a year,but I will have to try it, maybe not goodbye CB afterall

I'd love to know what you find out about Byzantine history! Good luck with the research!

As for mobile/WAP access to CB, it sounds possible, if the device has enough brains (my internet access is not working on my phone at the moment, so I can't check). Screen space/layout seems the main issue. Other considerations would be that you probably need to turn the chat client off, and might have difficulty answering botchecks without a keyboard.

I have a smart phone, one with a touch pad, and its the proper internet not the poor wap excuse for internet. I will try it now!

Go for the phone, it's definitely possible; I did it for quite a while. Otherwise, sounds like an awesome trip have a blast.

Apollo October 14 2008 5:01 PM EDT

It works perfectly! Thanks Dudemus, i can't believe I missed that link.

I hereby retract my absence from CB
