ha, internet!

Yay, I can get online again!

I'm not sure exactly what was going on there. It's true that for several hours, my router had no signal going in or out, but I think there was also something glitching in my actual laptop, since both before and after the router failure, it kept telling me that various Microsoft programs I hadn't opened weren't responding, and opening other programs at glacial speed such that no webpages would load even when the router was fine. Anyway, I restarted twice and that seems to have fixed whatever was eating all the processing power.

Computers are freaking weird sometimes, you know?

I'm glad you're back online in your own space - working in libraries makes everything three times as hard. Yes, they are weird, and so's the internet at large.

I spent a few years with no home internet access -- I did everything via the library and/or Cornell's public-access computer labs -- and the fact that I jumped for home internet access the minute it became an option tells you something about how frustrating that situation was.
