Actually, if I had to write by hand nowadays, I don't think even I could read it!<br /><br /><b>D: </b><i>Hopefully</i> we'll have a better time of it than that! We went through something similar the last time we switched ISPs, and a technician had to go to the exchange and do whatever technicians do. So, we're kinda used to this, and better prepared than last time.<br /><br /><b>Jason: </b>Thanks, we hope so, too. Coffee cans are an interesting idea. Can you use Twitter with those? ;-)Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-60576738279163340962011-03-21T00:40:49.334+13:002011-03-21T00:40:49.334+13:00Sorry to hear about your problems.
It is amazing ...Sorry to hear about your problems.<br /><br />It is amazing to see how tied we are to all these different technologies in our lives. And how much of a disruption there is when they go out.<br /><br />Perhaps two coffee cans and some string might help.<br /><br />Hope you guys are back up soon.Jason in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442861717390485392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-12136491331612345562011-03-20T21:54:46.560+13:002011-03-20T21:54:46.560+13:00We had trouble with our provider (Orcon) and didn&...We had trouble with our provider (Orcon) and didn't have internet for almost 2 weeks. It was really difficult, and like you, I felt very disconnected from the world. While I have access to internet at work, I don't use it much and cannot access Facebook or any other social sites from there.<br /><br />When we gave up on Orcon and called our new provider (Snap), Snap suggested that we cancel with Orcon *after* Snap has connected us, because it's easier to connect if there is already a connection.<br /><br />In any case, they had us up in HOURS, thereby proving Orcon was either fucking with us, or they had really shitty service.dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687492454625470270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-22505334982078357422011-03-20T20:27:04.730+13:002011-03-20T20:27:04.730+13:00Damn technology; if I were cut off from the Intern...Damn technology; if I were cut off from the Internet, I'd have to write by hand or something.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
