Sorry for my short absence, everyone. I've been having some internet troubles for no apparent reason, and right now, I feel like calling up my ISP and screaming a bit. We're still not sure exactly what happened, but I'm pretty sure that it's the signal coming from either the ISP to the modem or what's just coming from the cable box to the modem. Sometimes, wireless cable can be a pain in the backside...
At any rate, just for future reference, when I suddenly disappear for a day or two, always assume that it's my internet connection unless specified otherwise.
