An Update Update
January 31st, 2008 by Tim Solley
Good news! We’ve put our order in for satellite internet service at our mountain Colorado home. No more dial up! I’m not sure yet when they’ll come out to install, but I’m hoping to have high speed internet service running in the next few days. When that happens, I’ll be back to posting articles and photos.
Can you imagine how it feels to a photographer to have to resize his pictures down to a tiny little thumbnail just to email them? How did we all survive before broadband? I mean seriously!

I hear ya @ broadband! And my country still offers only pretty slow broadband connection, so im still feelin ya!
I wanted to say something to you Tim, and that is Thank you! Your website was one of the first of the kind that i found that really promoted and nurtured my interest and knowledge in photography, so much so that i now take some pretty good pictures! (yes, i can finally say that with confidence).
Infact earlier i had mentioned about that interesting photojournalism for wedding website i found, and now i find myself doing quite the same thing here and its been a blast! And its been crazy, 4 weddings in 2.5 weeks!
I had to upgrade my hard disks too!
I was talking to a gentleman i met at the wedding yesterday, about how i got Absorbed into photography and what got me started as we departed he made quite a profound statement :), he said, it takes a matchstick to light a candle. i love it. its stuck.
Thanks for the match Tim.
Cheers
Rooh
PS: now i have to figure out how to put up a good profile and market myself! its harder than you’d have thought

Udi and Roohshad,
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it when people leave comments on this blog letting me know that I’m helping out. When you blog for months and people don’t leave much feedback, it can make you start to think people don’t care.
And Rooh, the marketing is much harder than the photography itself if you ask me.
So the high speed internet will be installed and (hopefully) running tomorrow. I’m so excited! I’ve got a million photos to post to the web. Mostly personal stuff for the family, but stuff for Sublime Light too.

I hope the install goes well. We’d like to hear about how the satellite broadband works for you. Can’t believe no phone is required — I wouldn’t think signal strength would be good enough for high speed upload!
When you get a chance, would you check your RSS feed. It failes to load (feeds.feedburner.com/SublimeLight) in Firefox, and IE7 says “This feed contains code errors.”

Thanks for the info Bruce. I think I got the problem figured out, and you should be able to get the feed now. Let me know if you still have trouble.
Unfortunately, the satellite broadband didn’t get installed yesterday like it was supposed to. The install guy showed up and realized he needed 4 wheel drive to get up to our house. Naturally we told them they wouldn’t get to our house without it. Hopefully tomorrow it will be installed.
