This morning was a wash, internet-wise. Apparently, my router decided to usurp the modem for control of the planet. The siege was unsuccessful as told by my internet service, which was AWOL.
Life began to suck moderately… I phoned up ole Time Warner to sort it out. Ms. Automated Voice got impatient when my computer would not boot up fast enough for her and shipped me off to a REAL person. Lucky me! Life began to suck less.
As luck would have it, I wound up with someone who knew what to do and was able to give me explicit instructions on how to save planet internet. I successfully carried out these instructions – unceremoniously unplugging my router (using a few curse words as punishment) and, unplugging my modem (using words of encouragement when I plugged it back in again). After re-plugging the router and specifying it’s place in the world is what it is and there would be no more hostile takeovers unless it wanted to be unplugged permanently and replaced by a truly subservient version, Starship Internet was back online.
This, of course, has nothing to do with the paranormal – unless you consider that my router might be haunted.
