The Free Ride Is Over…
…and it’s probably my fault, too.
About three months ago, just on the off chance that my account at Michigan State hadn’t been deactivated, I tried dialing in to the old Michnet number from my work laptop here at my desk.
Amazingly enough, it worked.
Yes, it was dialup, but it wasn’t sitting on a corporate network where my web tracks could be monitored. I’m not confident enough, as a vendor to the company at which I reside, to push limits of acceptability by visiting anything outside of a few core sites (Amazon, ebay, my bank, some news outlets), so I wasn’t able to visit blogs or update my own before realizing I still had my account.
Of course, all good things come to an end. As of 6/23, all access for non MSU students ended. As did my ability to aimlessly surf in my downtime. Damn.
Maybe they noticed the aberration of my six hours online daily, nearly ten years after leaving school. If I spoiled it for anyone out there, my apologies.
