Live & Direct from Nowhere in Particular...

Grrr. I came home from class last night to no internet. Went into the front room & looked @ the modem, I was about to reset it when I remembered that when I glanced at the side of the house when I got home, something was missing.

While clearing the lot next door (of way too may trees in my opinion) they took down a tree that was right against my fence on the property line. My cable ran through the branches & went down with it. (I am glad to see this particular tree go, it will make putting up a fence easier & stop attacking my roof). So I called & paged the demolition company. He was very apologetic & of course there wasn’t much he could do @ 10:30pm, but he did say if the Cable company charges me, he’ll pay it. I actually kind of felt bad for bothering him.

Then I called the cable company. They earliest they can be out is Wednesday morning. *sigh* I guess I get to try to be productive tonight. I watched a Netflix I’ve had too long last night.

This was my view out the bathroom window this morning…

I felt a bit like Arthur Dent.

It’s a bit surreal to see a house disassembled next to your own. Especially when you catch glimpses of other things that you cannot usually see through it. Very odd.

Not bad … only took them a bit over an hour.

Please excuse the errors. There seems to be a problem with access to /tmp on my server. Only mildly frustrating. At least it’s not the blog database. The site that Jeremy built for his VOIP joint venture is busted too.

This one we turned in for week 6, then she had us refine it for week 7. Here is the week 7 version…

I was just looking up my repair status online & my phone rang. ‘Twas a number I didn’t recognize, but local, so I decided to actually answer. It was the Knox Street Apple Store. Laptop’s done. Apparently they do actually do the repairs right in store. I didn’t realize that.

The odd thing is that the original repair was cancelled. The guy I talked to said there was another issue that he needed to fix to repair the video issue, something about a worn power cord or somesuch. So he created a new ticket for the whole thing to cover it all.

So, I know where I’m going after work.
