Back online!!

I've had the most awful luck with internet lately. Two weeks ago, I was kept away from my computer, due to the fact that I couldn't get home. Then, there was an electric storm... which kinda knocked out the alarm system on the house. However, being as that thrice-cursed thing is connected to the phone line as well, the same surge kinda burnt up my modem. (as you can all imagine, I was so incredibly pleased...)

However, a fairly good friend of mine is a computer geek. And had a spare modem, which he'd taken off one of his old computers when he replaced it with one for high-speed (which I can't get, as I'm too far in the country). So, as soon as he could, he came over, replaced my modem, and made everything work. I am SO happy.

And now, because of the multiple lists I'm on, I've got 1459 e-mails to sort through. Joy.

Still, I'm back online. And yes, that IS a joy.
