It was Hell, I tell you; Hell!

[panik]

Been internetless since yesterday evening; what a horror. It's sort of fixed now, but we're not sure why - the phones went off, too, so it must (unless it was some improbably massive coincidence) have been connected to that, but on further delving this morning, Mark found that the DNS numbers weren't being automatically assigned as per - we had to key them in manually, and now all is well again and the phones are back on, too. Very, very odd and something to do (I suspect) with a fall in voltage on our crap 1950's phone lines  - but after a morning of major buggering with wires and moving sofas and tables and knick knacks and knocking the Sky signal out in the process and having to repair that... (sigh) tis on again. What a relief.

But in between said buggering about, I got another 1200 words of one of my WIPs written, so the morning wasn't entirely wasted.

So, I'm just catching up with emails and LJ and then I have to clean the house, for yeah, verily, it is a tip - especially behind that sofa... man!

You're very brave. Strange things lurk behind my sofa. I dare not disturb.

Strange things lurked behind mine - though it was mostly dust bunnies, dead spiders and a whole lot of gunk. )o:

But I HAD to! Believe me, nothing would've induced me in normal circumstances!

What a palaver! I'm glad you managed to get it all fixed in the end though. Welcome back!

I guess the scariest thing is that we still don't really know what happened, or how it got fixed. It might happen again... ::shudder::

Glad your writing is going well. Hope the internet behaves for you.
