Where Was I?
Wondering where we went? My ISP dropped the ball. This is a cable connection and there is ONE (and only ONE) heartbeat/login server. There was an electrical storm and then there was no heatbeat. Everybody dead in the water. Do they have a standby? a replica? a clue? Nope.
At least this time the support message mentioned "... if you have some other way of getting on the net, you can check the status page at ..." and the helpdesk staff were friendly BUT I still have to put up with an outage that could have been avoided with some commonsense. Hmm. Maybe they are running windows?
BTW: There may be another outage (according to their web page) between 1AM and 6AM (Australian Eastern Standard Time which is currently 10 hours ahead of GMT). It is also possible that the IP address will change ... (DNS updates should follow soon afterwards)!
