I moved on Wednesday and so haven’t had an internet connection for several days. The cable guy came yesterday to get me wired for cable internet, but he couldn’t finish the installation. He contracted an electrician to come over and do some essential wiring.
So I’m offline until Tuesday.
Running on online business without an internet connection sounds like a contradiction in terms, doesn’t it?
Doesn’t have to be.
With my Blackberry I’ve been able to keep in touch with Virtual Assistants who are keeping things running for me, emailing future guests for my podcast, getting important updates from colleagues, etc.
I’ve also done some spring cleaning on my laptops, deleting stuff I no longer need.
I’ve edited PLR (private label rights) articles that are on my computer, so it will be easier and faster to use them once I get back online.
I’m at a wi-fi hotspot right now, doing a little Twittering and realized how much I miss it. I can do it on my phone but it’s tedious, and ReTweeting is nearly impossible because I have to re-type the entire thing.
Are you on Twitter yet? If so, follow me. Then, send me a Direct Message or @ me – and I’ll follow you back.
I tell you, it’s darn frustrating to have ideas for blog posts come into my head and not be able to publish them immediately! I have bits of paper all around the house with blog post ideas.
When my kids are with their Dad next weekend, I plan on checking myself into a hotel so I can blog my brains out with no distractions. 
How did you handle a period of being offline when you run an internet business?
Glad the move went well. Being without internet for long periods of time makes me crazy! I know when we moved and I had to wait I felt like I wasn’t doing anything … just waiting for the internet to be up! I hit a free wifi spot a few times and it made me feel better -lol-
One reason I love my iPod Touch is because of the Wordpress app. I’m able to write those ideas down on more than just paper- I can actually start writing the entire post. Then once I’m connected to WiFi I can send the post to my wordpress blog! It’s actually how I’ve been keeping up with my blog lately and with Twitter!
yeah..its frustrating when you have all these ideas in your head and not be able to write them or blog them immediately. this happens to me all the time. i actually started blogging just recently because i have more free time that before. it’s also nice to have a cellphone that is wi-fi ready so anytime you have those thoughts in your head you can just type it on your cp and save it. anyway, i found a website, you might wan’t to check em’ out. eleapsoftware.com/
