aq.org down

EDIT: By the time I finished posting that, it was back up, oddly enough. We’ll see how long that lasts, though.

Hi. My home net (and therefore all mail to @aq.org addresses) is down. I lost net yesterday afternoon for a while; my ISP determined that it was Covad’s problem (their ISP) and reprovisioned the line, which fixed things until this morning, but it’s down again.

(Making this even more fun is that I also have had no cellphone service since Sunday. I’m posting this through my *third* extremely cantankerous and unreliable connection to the Intenet, a Verizon router gizmo that doesn’t charge properly.)

When I have net again I think I need to make moving aq.org’s mail service to a colo box a high priority (in my copious free time).

In the meantime, you can get in touch with me via GMail (same login name as on LJ), although I can’t check that from home as frequently as usual.

At least my kittycat’s purrer is still working!

Phone and net are back

My phone is working again, although the whole process was not such as would tend to increase my confidence in T-Mobile.

My internet is working again, although I’m slightly puzzled that the trouble-ticket was closed with no response after my last “It’s still not working” message. But that’s around when it started working again.

That just leaves my washing machine, my housemate’s electrical outlets under load, and my brain. :-)
