The Intertubes are working again

Man, I hate monopolies. They screw shit up precisely because they KNOW they can get away with it and no one is going to call them on their shit. Take the venerable Ambassador from Hindustan Motors. You think people would still buy that bucket of stones if they had a choice? Methinks not. Unless you actually *wanted* to be seen around town in a monstrosity that looked like this:



Anyway, my point is that Comcast has a near-monopoly on the cable business here and it sucks. Big time. We pay a bunch of money, and the interslice (this is what we call the internet at the house) stops working every once in a while, for no rhyme or reason. When the interslice stops working, we start calling it the intertubes, and we start yelling obscenities at it, which usually doesn't help any. And so we end up having to call someone and then having to wait several days while they figure out what the hell is wrong. Fortunately, the nice lady who I spoke to today, Susan from Saratoga (I bet she was Subha from Surat) told us what to do, and after half hour of tinkering around, it all came to life. Why they couldn't have done this 3 days back, I don't know.

Point is, that's why there's been this hiatus. Sure, its a hell of a long winded way to say a really simple thing. So sue me.
