For no reason at all my net dropped around mid morning. Might be the firecard locking up. Shaw’s routers seem to ping-pong traceroutes back and forth between themselves if there’s nothing on an IP though, which makes figuring out that your own system isn’t up hard (wouldn’t the standard non-response to indicate a non-host be better?). Oh well, reboot the FC and get a new IP, which sucks, but oh well, what can you do.
Now to do laundry, dishes, and upgrade naked with the cel-533 motherboard that’s been sitting here since my original round of the hardware shuffle.
