I've just recently settled after a nomadic period, I spent almost 12 months on the road, using just my phone for the majority of the time. I ran a cloud server for all my hosted apps, movies, budget, cloud storage and such. Configuring that was a bit of a pain but with the right tools not too bad.

I did go to an internet cafe once, I had a lot of text entry/editing to do. Surprisingly hard to find.

I was staying with family for a bit without much to do, so I picked up an SSD and installed an OS on that. Got me some good idling time.

Somewhat related, I've got so much rollover data from my phone plan that now I'm settled, I've just been hotspotting from my phone for home internet.
