Mickey Mouse operations
Today as I was turning the computer on, I didn’t have access to the internet.
So, what’s wrong?
My DSL line is up, I have sync. But no internet.
Hmm, do an autodiscover on the router. VPI/VCI has different values. Hmmm.
So, what if my new ISP switched the cable between one DSLAM to another without telling me? So I’m on the horn to the new ISP, who I haven’t heard from since I told them I’d be switching. I had about three months left on the old one, so no need, right?
Turns out they don’t know anything about anyone switching any cables. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Could have been someone from the phone company that just did mine even though it wasn’t time yet.
Sooo… I’m waiting for new DNS server setup and some other configuration details I need to get online.
Meanwhile, I’ve got the laptop and I’ve hit the road to find a friend with internet access…
Should be online soon again, though…
But I just have to say, this is very weird. Sort of Mickey Mouse operations. Nobody knows what’s going on…

I’m back online.
But all the action is at my new blog, spamhuntress.com
I only stick non-spam related stuff here.

Dutifully fav’d. Thanks for letting me know ;o)
As for the AOL’er (”Flattery will get you nowhere”), just do what I did and block the whole AOL net-block (combined with a proxy sniffer, can be very effective….. completely pee’s em off too, hehe)
