A Word from Our Sponsor....

The network is out at work again, which means no email, no Internet, no nuthin' until they get it fixed, which could be tomorrow or could be two weeks from now. I still have access at home, yes, but it is hard to manage everything in the couple of hours of free time at home, so if you sent me an email and I haven't replied, or left a comment and I haven't replied, it is because the wire to our great & wonderful State network is lying on the lawn again. Luckily, it is not summer so they shouldn't run over it with the lawnmower like they did last summer.

Meanwhile, work without a network is hopelessly bland. I actually spent a good amount of time playing 3D Pinball from the games that come with the Windows package. But hey, Meryth got a high score of something like 2 million.

Hopefully, I'll go in tomorrow and everything will be up and running. Since our last outage lasted two weeks, I won't hold my breath.

I think you must be using the same internet suppliers as we do at work.
...in which case the problem will never be fixed, until you´ve given the stupid twits a million chances to fix it and after one year in agony YOU FINALLY REALISE THEY DON´T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM AND THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE IT IS TO FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER!!!

*glances suspiciously at coffee cup*
Erm...
Or something of the kind.
;o)

LMAO!!! You have experience with this, I presume?

Our problem is that our supplier is the government...and we all know how that goes. I mean, these are the people who shut down our network last summer because they ran over the wire with a lawnmower. No one thought, "Doh! Wire on the lawn! I should move that before rolling the lawnmower over it!"

*headdesk*

But our Internet goes down every few months for whatever reason, at which point my boss has to wrangle with our IT people to fix it, so...yeah. Been there too. ;)
