WTF Internet? (WTF? Friday 7/24/2015)

To be honest, I should have expected this.

With Adorkette home for the summer (along with every other teenager in the neighborhood), gaining - and keeping - internet access has been a real bitch.

It's exhausting really. Not only is it hard to blog, it's hard to watch trailers, read emails, hell - it's a pain watching television. 

W...T...F?

Seriously!

AGAIN with the internet...

I was all set to watch last week's Flash episode - the one with Mark Hamill - and we got about halfway through...

...when the internet crashed.

We watch our shows through HuluPlus, which is all fine and dandy, but between Adorkette using her computer for school work and the "damn kids" in the neighborhood stealing our bandwidth, HuluPlus slows to a crawl...until it stops working completely.

The last thing I wanna do is give a half-First Impression (or is it First-Half Impression?) of anything. 'Cause that's just half-assed. 

Between that and effin' work schedule this week, it will be a couple of days before I an get to it...and last week's Arrow...and AoS...and that other show coming this Friday (although - Netflix seems to work better than HuluPlus at times). Sorry for the wait...

Balls.

Effin' internet...

Adorkette is home today due to Intersessions at her school...

...I know, don't ask...

...and she's working on school stuff, until the internet stops working.

When Mrs. Adorkification and I ask what's going on, Adorkette tells us she's downloading something.

What's she downloading? "Something called Adobe Premiere..."

 Yeah - that's gonna take awhile...

Technical Difficulties (Again...)

So remember the storm I was telling you about? After it ended, our internet connection "broke".

We thought it was due to the weather, but after 24 hours without it, I decided to give TWC a call.

Turns out it wasn't the weather, it was our modem.

Our seven-and-a-half year old modem.

So I drive into town (through another storm) to pick up a new one and get home in time to connect things up before going to work.

Only it doesn't work.

So another call is made, and a tech is sent to see us sometime in the afternoon.

Which he does.

Only he can't get the internet re-connected either.

Until he discovers the new modem...the one I drove in to get and was brand spankin' new...was defective.

So he gets one out of his truck, plugs it in, and now everything's back to normal.

Ain't technology grand?

Technical Difficulties...

Due to systems beyond my control, I was unable to post anything yesterday.

Part of it was my fault. I let my wife and daughter use our computer before I went to work, and my plan was to post after I came back...

...but we lost power.

Not for long though, roughly an hour, and power was restored before I came home...

...just not the internet.

At first we thought it was the computer, but it tuned out that Time Warner had some issues...

...Time Warner owns DC Comics doesn't it?

Anyway, we're up and running and I'm a day behind...

...sorry about that.
