About a week ago we had a big thunderstorm here. Which isn’t at all uncommon this time of year. However this last week my building was hit by lightning. I saw I lost power when I came home but it was back on, and the wife was at her mothers so no clue how long it was off for. But everything checked out ok, I just had to reset some clocks. Except when I went to check my internet. I couldn’t connect to anything. I thought maybe it was because we lost power I needed to reset the modem and troubleshot it a little further but couldn’t get anywhere. The lightning had fried one of the cards in the basement to the building that gave everyone internet. We found this out a couple days later, and after more than myself called to complain about no Internet.
The internet is still fucked up and I can use it in intervals of 5-15 minutes before I have to reset my modem again, depending on the time of day I guess. But they are saying that they have to do some more work and are apparently going to install the newer faster internet. I don’t know how long this is going to take for them to do this but I can’t use my wireless router or VOIP phone at all right now which really pisses me off. I am able to however work on more of the stuff I do for the website offline now, but I would still much rather check my e-mail, use my webcam, and play some of the games here in hopes to knock Mopar30 down from his number one spot.

Hope you don’t mind, but I’m knocking Mopar30 down from his spots one at a time, as long as my wife doesn’t get there first…. Goooo jellybean…
