Six-and-a-half hour flights can be long. Fortunately, Lufthansa business class provides some amazing services that make the time fly by.
First, there is a standard power outlet, so I can plug my laptop without any sort of adapter. This is important because even with the super-sized battery for my Thinkpad, it still burns through it in about 90 minutes. Second, they have free broadband Internet access. Called Connexion, it’s provided by Boeing and Lufthansa is one of the only airlines to offer it. And third, it works with the wireless network adapter on my laptop. No cables to tangle with or trip over on my way to the lavatory.
I’m able to run browse multiple websites, sign into Sametime at the office, WLM Messenger and even control my DVR at home via Slingbox. I think that qualifies me for the geek of the week award, don’t you?
You are THE BigBlueBallGeek… and to think I knew you before you were a globetrotting jet-setter. Thank god there is someone out there like you that can get all this technology crap to live together in harmony. Looking forward to your future remote posts and photos.
Say, it looks like I was online when you grabbed that screen cap. You could at least of given me a “hey dude” or something… 🙂

@epiclectic: Dude, I almost did ping you, but if you look closely at the image, you’ll see that your online status indicated that you were idle.
Next time I’ll be sure to ring you.
