And We're Back!

I lost contact with my web host (a box that sits under my desk in Charlottesville) in the wee hours of Monday morning. I learned later that there was a bad snow storm in Charlottesville. My nextdoor neighbor offered to go and bounce my box, but my DSL provider told me that the trouble was on their end, not mine.

Well, the DSL folks have been terrible. I won't go into all the details.

This time, when my neighbor repeated the offer, I took him up on it, and what do you know -- everything came back up. We'll see what the DSL people say when and if they ever come by to fix whatever they think the problem is. (After, I'm told, they deal with all the broken dial-tone lines in the area. Bad storm.) It's strange to have to deal with all this stuff from hundreds of miles away.

Sorry for the unexplained absence.
