First post and problems.

Server Status: Down.

Server Repair Journal Day 1
My router's gone. There's no way to revive it. I'm stranded, alone, no escape. I'm stuck in the, "Internet Free Zone"...

Ok... Here's the shakedown. Yesterday my router bit the dust. My analysis shows that the router's internal ethernet switch has become faulty. As such I can't even use the thing as a stupid hub. On the bright side however, I can make it connect to the internet, which is helarious because the nearly indestructable ethernet side doesn't work, so I have a perfectly good router that can't be used because it has no lan side ports. Obviously I've tried to call quest about this, but have spent aproximately 4 hours total on hold without ever getting through. So I'll have to try again tonight. However... I had a physics assignment I was going to work on. Now I'm behind. With my cable being out from the construction work, that means the only things I have for entertainment are my game cube, my dvd's, my single player PC games (whose numbers have been deminishing now for several years), and my manga. No FFXI, no Ed, Edd, Eddy. Nada. It really sucks.

Obviously, if you're reading this, I've either fixed it or given up and put this up on blogspot...

Maybe if I wait long enogh, the magical hardware repair fairy will fix it for me...
