No Internet?! OMW!

So what does one do when their internet is down? Oh relaxes… takes a nap… nothing? Naw - most of the day the internet has been down at 9:30am or so access just stopped, connections I had to servers went down, email pop’d up saying it couldn’t reach the server, and of course IM logged out of everything, so it seems I’d have no access today, but of course one thing I had been thinking about dropping from my cell phone plan, came in very handy (as it is being used now too) GPRS/EDGE on T-Mobile, the Dash is sitting over on the printer in sharing mode and a little Bluetooth PAN is setup between the Mac & the Dash.

So internet access hasn’t be stellar, but it was enough to get online and keep an eye on things through out the day, and so far so good, I just called my cable company again and the automated message notes that it will be down “most of the evening” so that translates to “See you in the morning!” which isn’t a HUGE deal, I do have unlimited data on the plan, so I am in no-risk of some major overage, and if I REALLY need speed - granting Starbucks doesn’t use my provider, I can always get a cup of tea & surf at a T-Mobile hotspot.

So prayers for the techs workin on this, they had 2 major outages today, one was a fiber cut, so I imagine a majority of techs went off on that, and now that its off the list, we *MIGHT* be back up soon, but I’m not holding my breath.

Anywhoo, off to find dinner! Or at least a snack… what to eat… what to eat…
