A Morning During My Day Off Without Internet

Today is my day off from work. I woke up today without Internet. A bad storm in Nashville took out the main fiber optic line to my local ISP and right now their backup connection to Dallas has gone offline for some reason. So long story short; I'm pretty much OFFLINE today. The only reason why I'm technically "online" right now is because one of the computers I use has been able to pickup the "Public Wifi" from a business within range of my home. The connection is very slow, but it works.

My morning online habits are probably a lot like your's. When I wake up, I usually open my iPad right away to check for things I have missed. In my case; I like to check e-mail, visit FaceBook and check FaceBook Messenger. Lucky for me, I found a way to connect; but as I mentioned, the connection is very very slow. One thing I did was look for ways to access FaceBook where it would load quickly.

The best way I found was by going to https://mbasic.facebook.com. This loads a very basic version of FaceBook that loads quickly. It kind of reminds me a lot of how all websites use to look back in the late 90's thru mid-2000's. Viewing FaceBook today using this basic version has been a huge success since I have a very low signal. I've been quite impressed. Here is a screenshot example:

Pretty cool! So even though my morning during my day off work has been technically without my Internet; I still figured out a way to get online using a very slow and weak signal public wifi connection and load and use FaceBook using a very basic and simple version of their website.

So far today, my day has been splendid! :)

How about you? How has your day been so far today world?
