Bah. Apparently one of the fibre optic cables that services my building has been snapped. Earlier, there were guys with a big white truck going down a manhole outside my building. Either they’re fixing the problem, or putting a packet sniffer on the connection to scan for terrorists.
Either way, I’ve been without Internet access since lunchtime, and will be for the balance of the day. I eventually gave up waiting and went over to my wife’s office to borrow a PC there. If you’ve emailed me and expect a prompt response, you had better call me instead.
