Internet Up, fin

The cable guy showed up at the first minute of the two hour window we were told. Thank you cable guy.

It seems that the thunderstorm killed my ethernet port and my wireless router. So, he connected the modem to my computer through a USB port. I went and bought a new wireless router, but now I can’t connected it between the modem and my computer because it doesn’t have a USB jack. For now, until I can take my desktop box in to a repair shop (maybe in a couple days), Cowgrit will have to use my desktop computer for her Internet needs.

We went a week without Internet access at home (I had a connection at work), and poor Cowgrit was about at her wit’s end. She had no email, she couldn’t get to her regular Web sites, she was half cut off from her normal world.

I was in my hometown over the past weekend, so I was able to post a couple of days through my mom’s Internet connection. And the short notes I posted announcing my Internet problem, I posted from work. Even though no one would probably notice or care that I was posting to my blog from work, I don’t want to make that a habit.

So, yay, I’m back.
