Wheeeee. I just got my broadband connection back!
Talk about a harrowing experience. No online access, except via the coffee shop wireless network, for over a week. No email except webmail (yuck). Worst, no DU.

Surprisingly, Time-Warner was very helpful except for their undermanned repair service. By Thursday they'd isolated it to a problem at the pole, but the earliest they could get service out would have been this coming Tuesday. A clever tech at the network service center was able to restore service this morning by remotely rebooting the neighborhood router.

I doubt anyone missed me, but I sure missed y'all.

1. Welcome back!
We don't realize how much the internet has become a part of our lives until it doesn't work. Shudder...

2. I wish broadband access would eliminate cable.
It's too costly!
