Excuses

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

OK, it’s an excuse, I know. But you know those projects I was going to work on last night? They really relied on having an internet connection to accomplish most of what I wanted to do. Unfortunately, RoadRunner did not see fit to provide a working internet connection! I’ve done the support email thing, since I know it’s nothing from my router in that’s causing the problem, it’s from their modem out. I suppose if it’s not working tonight we’ll do the phone support thing, but man I really, really hate doing that with them!

In the meantime, it’s dial-up for the bare necessities and catching up with email and stuff during lunch at work. I won’t even attempt a Movable Type upgrade over dial-up!

    First off, yes I know that basically since I mentioned the support forums, THC’s site has been unreachable. It figures, like anything, the second you tell other people about it, it’s gone. 🙂 In other news, it’s an exciting time online, last night the email-to-blog feature for Blogger Pro went live, the Google API was…

    I don’t know how she did it, but by the time I got home from work last night, Angela had already been on the phone with RoadRunner support and had the modem all ready for me to transport back to their office in exchange for a new one. A short trip to their service center…

    Congrats go out the the New York Islanders, who beat the Washington Capitals 5-4 last night to clinch their first playoff berth since 1994, when they were swept out of the first round by that “other” New York team. Bring on the NHL playoffs, there is seriously nothing like them! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
