I have this wi-fi hotspot, a Karma Go.
An ex of mine gave it to me. I’ve had it for a couple of years now. Back when I was actively working on a side project (Project Drummond) I used that thing constantly.
But I stopped working on Project Drummond with vigor a while ago, and in fact killed the project altogether late last year.
However, since last October I’ve been working like a demon on a different side project, Project Longbottom. Which by the way, is going incredibly well. I’m actually in beta with it now. I’ve got 30 users banging away on the thing, each and every day.
I need to take a long train trip this weekend, and the X hours I’m going to be on the train will be absolutely prime time to put my head down and code away. So, time to break out the trusty old hotspot.
I was nervous about it. I haven’t used it in ages. I know my account is still current. But it’s a finicky beast, prone to losing charge. Plus, the companion iOS app for it had vanished from the app store, which I didn’t take as a good sign.
But I booted the sucker up this morning, got it charged, and it’s just fine. Moreover, when I contacted the nice folks at Karma, they told me the reason the app isn’t available anymore is because they’re busy upgrading it, and it’ll be back soon.
Whew! Glad to have it.
