Crap.
I think my modem's fried.
I'm not surprised, given the inordinate number of electrical storms we've been having lately--seriously, it's been like Cookie Monster at the Count's castle for the past week.
And I guess it's about time I replaced it. The poor things been kicking for at least two years, and it's taken one hell of a beating. (It's an external; I like to watch the lights.)
But still. Crap.
P.S. Today's English-is-orthographically-odd moment: when typing the word "lightning" above, it suddenly looked so strange to me, I had to look it up. It's fine now, but five seconds ago it was all jabberwocky and shit.
