And lo, here I sit with my laptop plugged into my kitchen phone line, which resembles a clothesline as it hangs across the doorway that goes from the kitchen to the family room.
My cable modem decided to take a big ‘ol dump on me yesterday afternoon, and though I wished and hoped and dreamed that the power supply was just getting too warm, it was not to be.
So just to let y’all know, I’m getting a 10-count here. I’m going to stay up late this morning to head down to Comcast’s south King County office (yes, they only have one) and get me a new modem and hopefully be up and running again later today.
If that plan fails and it is something more serious, look for a severe decrease in blogging for the forseeable future (hopefully just a day or so) as I kidnap a technician and hold him hostage, feeding him only fruit roll ups and chimichangas until the problem is solved.
UPDATE: I am now home and hooked up and everything seems to be back to normal.
It is amazing the service you get when you walk into their offices bearing gasoline and a torch.
And the wife says she can’t take me anywhere.
LOL! Must try that with Time Warner, who are well known for their absolutely horrible customer service & ripping people off.
