I've been offline most of the day because my ISP was doing server upgrades. I'd log on and then get knocked offline less than a minute later. What fun it was. I managed to post a blog entry I'd already written, but that was it. After about five hours things got back to normal.

Without internet access I became a broken shell of a man. And what good is a computer if I can't go online and look at stuff? I need to check my email, even it it's all spam (and it always is) I still need to check it at least a couple times a day. And my blog traffic needs to be monitored. And...and...I'm seriously ill.
