Today, my internet was down.  It lasted for about 4 hours.  No tweets were tweeted, no lols were had, no porn was fapped to, and no boards were trolled.  It was truly dark times.  Luckily my ISP got their act together, fixed the cord they tripped over, and got me my livelyhood back.

Color coding: doesn't work when they're all the same color.

I thought about calling up my ISP to see what was the problem, but I would probably be asked to restart my computer, my router, my modem, refresh my IP, do a virus scan, reinstall my operating system, redo the wiring in my house, build a satellite dish out of tinfoil and coat hangers, as well as other stuff to let them stall long enough to fix the obvious problem on their end.  But I didn't, and my internet is back, and I didn't even have to do anything to fix it, like I have been doing lately.

My mom happened to get a virus the other day.  How?  I saw that her antivirus wasn't running.  It worked when I opened it up, but it wouldn't run in the background, so I tried uninstalling it.  It failed.  Why?  It said I couldn't because it wasn't even installed.  Downloading the new version seemed to work, but it would have helped if it was there when she got the virus.  One of those viruses that says everything on your computer is infected, and is therefore unusable.


Of course removing that asshole of a virus messed up Windows, but I was once again able to fix it. However, now my mom is paranoid. Internets down? Virus. Laptop shuts down because battery is low? Virus. Can’t print? Virus. Ugh...
