I'm sure you have all been wondering why I haven't posted to my blog (you my oh-so loyal readers).
My DSL at home went down :( on Monday. This was a horrible thing. Why, you may wonder did it take so long for me to get it fixed? Because my home phone line hasn't been working for about two months now (gasp!). I use my cell phone for calling people I want to talk to, and have my home line for the DSL pretty much. But I was damned if I was going to call SBC tech support on my cell phone. So, I had to call and get my home line fixed first (which happened yesterday). Once I called DSL support (after assuring the tech that I'd patched that little MS problem right after they released the tech bulletin) we went through some steps. It was discovered that I had lost my primary DNS information, and my NIC had been disabled :(. I don't know what is up with the NIC, but now that I know what to look for....well I'll handle it. There is still some fishy stuff going on when I connect to the internet (I only connect when I'm doing stuff online which means I connect and disconnect quite frequently) like the Dial up form pops up *after* I've connected through the network connection. I'll deal with it though. And, as to the last question, why am I posting from work - and couldn't I have posted from work at some point in this week, so as to keep you entertained? Well, I'm posting from work because I wanted to get this in before I forgot - and I try to not post from work (usually), even if this is linked on our website.
