Technical Difficulties
Monday, March 06, 2006
My internet has been down at home, which is why I haven't been posting. Right now I'm posting from work which means I have .26308 seconds to write and publish. Eep!
I think our internet troubles are karma related. At our last place, we had wireless and we made it a secure network--smart for security, yes, but the real reason was that we didn't want "any of the bastards in this building bootlegging internet from us." Yeah! There were some really odd and rude people there.
Well, then we moved, and we got internet again, and made it secure again, and then realized there were a MILLION networks in the building so why pay when we can get it for free?
I think the guys downstairs are onto us, because their network keeps going all "closed" and "password protected" and then a few days later is up and running again. It seems to go down on Thursday nights and come back on Tuesday. That seems like a long way to go to kick us off the network--why not just MAKE it password protected?--so maybe they're having internet troubles too. Regardless, we don't have access at home, so we'll be calling good old Time Warner and getting set up again. Which means that in approximately 30 days, once they come out and misinstall it and we spend hours on the phone troubleshooting and then they send out another tech who figures out that the first tech never plugged in the unit (or something similarly stupid), we'll be up and running again, and things here will return to normal. Make that a mice-free normal. Yay! Intermittent posts to come in the, um, interim.
On an Oscars note: Yay, Reese and George! My obsession with George grows by the minute. He's a modern day Cary Grant (as Darren has said many a time) and I LURVE him. And I wouldn't mind being Reese if I could be a movie star, you know? Though I'd totally leave Ryan for George if I was.
