http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7085 Have a GCI prepaid phone I activate for rural Alaska trips. Even in Anchorage, pre-trip, data sucks balls. EDGE and 3G, both spotty, outside Anchorage. Text and voice phone calls were the only reliable things in all locations. On the road system, ATT is far superior to GCI. GCI's only benefit is that in rural Alaska communities, they're the only presence. If you're headed into the backcountry, no one has service, unless it's near the TAPS right of way. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Wed, 17 Jun 2015 12:53:03 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7085 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7084 So for the next year, at least until a habitable portion of our house is built, we will be staying up at Katy's dads place by goldenview. So I have to see what internet is even available for him as we are taking over the internet bill. Katy will be working remotely and plus her and the boys watch a fair bit of netflix and the like so we will need some serious dataz each month for that. I don't think I'll be traveling around the deep parts of the state much but I might and it would be great to maintain cell coverage. I should say that some of the various pluses of living down south is cheap internet and phone service. I pay $60 a month for pretty solid comcast internet, and $30 a month for pre-paid cell. Granted T mobile while cheap has the shittiest coverage imaginable and I get no data in AK otherwise I sure as shit would keep that plan. I love the cheapness and ease of prepaid plans and would consider one of the GCI prepaids. If you guys have any experience with that let me know, like I didn't know Tmobile prepaid wouldn't give me data up there since they don't readily admit that service is different between their contract and prepaid customers. Cheap fruits, vegetables and internet are the few things I have to give up to move back.

Before we would get intermittent coverage - 4G one moment, Edge the next, nothing at all a minute later. Lots of frustrating dropped calls. But as soon as you walk out of the neighborhood it's back to 4G, so your piece of land might be alright. Coverage around town and on the road system is great. We use ACS, for 4mb down and unlimited bandwidth at $105/month (after fees and all that). I think their new minimum is 10mb down, but they haven't upgraded the switch or internet-dumptruck-machine in my area yet. I can stream in 720, but can't have multiple tasks going. If Kristen decides to watch netflix while I'm trying to play a game, one of us has to give it up at 4mb down. Downloads of large content obviously take longer. The plus is that I don't give a shit about data caps. Do I want to download a TB of disgusting deep web filth? Put it in the old queue. Do I worry about running out of juice on the 25th and being unable to stream delicious content? No friendly GCI texts for me.

The merger of ACS and GCI straight up fucked anyone on CDMA (Verizon) up here. I routinely get 10+ mbps down at Alpine and Kuparuk on my iphone, while the Verizon/GCI folks can barely check their email. conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Mercy General Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:10:55 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7077 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7076 As for cell service, been using AT&T, since iPhones were exclusive once upon a time. I am generally satisfied with my coverage, but I typically don't stray too far off the beaten path (i.e., asphalt). It's fairly expensive ($80 a month), but any smart phone plan with data is comparable.

But on a per unit basis it is far superior. I hate paying money to GCI, but it's really the only option if you want quality streaming. As for running out of bandwidth, that only happened to me when I decided to download and install EVERY game I owned on steam on the new computer. If you only stream, you don't have to go all the way to $134, the $85 should cut it. Plus you can always upgrade or buy additional bandwidth if you need it - they actually are nice about informing you of your caps rather than just straight charging you (FUCK YOU AT&T).

Last fall we had 3 people streaming their netflix, MLB, HBO, and etc and only got close to the cap once out of four months. Even then, that was during baseball playoffs. J-Rho just hasn't updated his GCI plan in a while. Even though the same cost plan would get him more benefits and data without increasing his monthly cost. I think M&K got around the AT&T problem by getting a microcell. AT&T works really well along the road system. If you start looking at rural Alaska, GCI is the only cell provider worth using. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Tue, 16 Jun 2015 14:52:42 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7074 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7073 Everything is expensive. And everything sucks. That said, I've had fairly good luck with AT&T around town. However, the hillside is sort of another story, particularly that side of the hill. Last I knew anything about it, AT&T has their one tower up near Bear Valley, and a lot of your coverage is determined by line of sight from there. Alternatives are GCI (who recently acquired ACS's wireless service) or Verizon. Verizon is relatively new. GCI tends to have the best in terms of speed, but their bandwidth caps are ridiculous. Not sure what you guys are used to in terms of streaming, etc., but most of GCI's plans have it where the speed of the cable modem can exhaust your monthly transfer cap within 2-3 days (running at full speed). ACS is the alternative, and is uncapped, but tends to be relatively slow. There is also Borealis Broadband, but they tend to cater to businesses and more exotic setups. However, I haven't done any research into if they've been getting into residential Internet since I dealt with them last. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Tue, 16 Jun 2015 13:26:20 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7073 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7072 Pertinent to this thread.

It's hard to ever get a read on what is exciting to him, unless he's telling us about something. In general he's got all of his close cousins up there and he is always talking about fun stuff he wants to do with them. I think he'll be ok.

We want an attached 2 car garage with a shop space, as well as a mother in law apartment above (we're struggling with how to integrate this with the house without it looking like one long rectangular box). Maybe a butler's cottage? The lot is more than 1 acre, but less than two, and mostly flat with at least one hill (JD, do I have this right?) We are also trying to figure out how to make this as energy efficient as possible, and build in smart storage and utility (read: between stud shelving, laundry chutes, kitchen to garage garbage transfer chutes, etc).

That's a fun place to start. I particularly like the wood stove. I'm not going to stop thinking about this until you guys are laying a foundation. What does the site look like? I know I've walked by, but I can't quite remember which portion of the wooded area it is. How flat (or not flat) is it? How big overall? Looking at that floor plan, I'm guessing you're wanting roughly 1600-2000 sq ft? 3 bedroom + office, 2.5 bath. Attached garage? If I know JD, I'd suggest thinking about a work space within the garage for storage & tinkering with that REI Outlet equipment. Any other particulars? Shoot me an email if you'd like.

I have a degree in Environmental Design, which is a 4 year Architecture degree. A lot of schools have a five year Bachelor of Architecture program, while A&M has a 4 year ENDS track. The ultimate goal for either type of institution is a Masters of Architecture. For ENDS, it means a 2 year masters degree, for a traditional 5 year BoA it's a 1 year masters degree. The 5 year degree generally covers another Structures and Systems class, and then more design studios. The additional year of graduate school covers the same. But as such, with a 4 year Arch degree, I cannot get licensed to practice Architecture. I would need a graduate degree, or something like 10 additional years of professional practice under a licensed architect. If I had a masters degree I would have to accumulate my hours (roughly 3 years full time worth, though it typically takes longer) under an architect before I could sit exams (another 3 years worth) before being licensed. Only then could I stamp off on drawings, certifying them as safe structures. And even then, most architects don't know enough to stamp their own drawings, and instead rely on older architects who have much better insurance coverage. I left grad school (Urban Planning) at the end of 2007 to join Kristen up here. The job market was dogshit, and I found a job at Corvus Design, a landscape architecture firm. A different world, but good design principles are the same. My degree isn't job-training in CAD or Photoshop, but rather spatial awareness and critical thinking. So I worked for Corvus until 2013 designing exterior spaces. Plazas, stairs, rails, plantings. A lot of bread and butter projects we call Title 21 up here, for the muni code that governs landscape design. I.E. A hotel or Walmart or other big, boring projects that make us a lot of money. The more fun, smaller profit margin projects meant designing seating walls, speccing Green Man@idkfa.com (Green Man) Mercy General Sat, 06 Jun 2015 15:55:00 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7043 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7042 Ignored. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Sat, 06 Jun 2015 15:12:19 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7042 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7041 Test post.

The one I had, though cared for pretty well, had some serious planned obsolescence to it. The seal around the pump piston failed, so it wouldn't maintain any sort of pressure. It was cheaper to buy a new one. The new one we bought, however, was hilarious. It was a different type of sprayer, which rather than being a single, high-pressure hose, it was more like a big vacuum cleaner that just blew in reverse. Long story short: I put at least three coats of white paint on the walls in my grandmother's basement, far, far back in the back utility room. But the new paint sprayer moved enough air that I pretty much coated the entire floor of her basement (not just the utility room) with a sheen of white paint. And we didn't realize until, like, a day after it had dried and we could see the white speckles. My grandmother has glasses for both near and distance vision. And her knees bother her, so she can't really bend down to get a close look at anything on the floor. But damned if she didn't see those speckles. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:57:53 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7039 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7038 But should you start a land war in Asia?! kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Fri, 05 Jun 2015 14:54:28 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7038 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7037 I think I know how I'm burning my time at work today.

I was thinking; "oh August, it'll great to see the kids and hang out again." Moving back up!? Shit yeah! It'll be great to have you in town, and even better if you guys develop that property up by us.

Katy has permission to work remotely for wizards and I had an interview with the state public health lab for their bioterrorism defense unit (federally funded position). So yeah, with at least one job set we are moving. I figure I have a pretty good shot with the state job since it requires BSL-3 experience which I'm going to guess is pretty rare in general and more rare for non-PhD's that might be in AK.
