Post-poned...

...due to computers.

My computer (using Vista...I know...) died. And continued to die roughly ten minutes after I started it back up (...I know...).

So I've just finished "upgrading" it to XP, and will spend the night re-loading all the stuff I use.

That is, if the kids around us stealing bandwidth will let me...I KNOW!!!

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?
