Comic and Rant for Saturday, February 8, 2003
Add Mario Sunshine to that list, too! |
Aaargh!! Once again I have no time to do a proper rant! You know who’s to blame? No, not me! (okay, actually it is me since I have trouble budgeting my time, but as long as I have another thing on which to lay blame I can rationalize my innocence) In all seriousness, the phone company is partially to blame. They did such a shoddy job connecting my phone and such an inept job at not repairing it (I’ll tell you about it some other time, unless I already have) that I ended up fixing it myself. Since then, things worked fine up until a few days ago, when I discovered moisture had gotten into my literally homemade repair job and was causing the phone to register as off the hook. I think I fixed it, but since then I've only been able to connect to the Internet at speeds of 19 kbps or lower, and I'm not entirely sure if this is due to a flaw in my repair, some other faulty connections I haven't considered yet (the phone line goes from my landlords’ cellar window up to my second floor apartment, and there's been a lot of wind lately), or EarthLink being smegheads. The practical upshot of this is that whatever time hasn’t been spent working has pretty much been taken up with repair attempts or bits of netsurfing that are taking far longer than they should be. And I thought it was bad when I kept getting disconnected! If you want better rants, and maybe even three strips a week, help me get a cable modem. |
