  • More whacky Internet stuff…

    FPT, my Internet provider, is done pretty much country-wide at this point. They’ve been down since last night.

    It’s not unusual for Internet at the house to be down. We’re in a relatively new neighborhood and the connection can be spotty. When I lose the connection to the house, I just dash off to a cafe to get some work done.

    The problem, of course, is that a lot of the cafes use FPT. This outage is particularly bad because I can’t fall back to a cafe without doing a lot of searching. I can still post updates from my phone, and I’m now working on getting my phone tethered to my laptop in case this happens again.

    Isn’t the Internet fun?
