We strongly recommend the use of Firefox 3 as it supports Windowless operation, a common feature used by Silverlight applications.

Preparing to go off the the grid.
Off the Grid, phrase slang
The term off the grid or off-grid refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.
In my case its all about communications technology leaving all the moblie cell phone and data connectivity behind and living for awhile without facebook, twitter not blogging every part of my life and just for awhile enjoying the sense of isolation. This is were the fun is as I have extreme techno-joy I love my devices and gadgets and wonder how I'd ever run my life without them. I've never complete left the grid in a long time and I wonder how i will feel being unconnected by my virtual strings to the web. So from this Friday for a short while the sound you will here is the tone of 400Hz in a continous cadence. Lets hope I don't like too much and decide I want to stay there.
