Something went boom at RCN, so I have no Web access at home. [livejournal.com profile] arcanus is out of town. RCN won't talk to us, because we don't own the account. [livejournal.com profile] rojagato and I are both pre-Internet people, yet we become temporarily paralyzed when denied a connection. "What the hell did we do before cable modems?"

I woke up on the wrong side of my brain. Don't feel like being at work. It's nice out, and I have a gigantic fishtank stand to build. I expect a phone call from Tropic Isle today -- "Your stupid enormous tank has arrived. Come get it." I'll need a truck and three volunteers. Doubt this will happen today, but doubtless before the weekend.

Loco, email me. Sadira has my address. I might be able to help (and I don't mean the tank).

Gracias.

I dunno if [livejournal.com profile] arcanus is back in town yet -- if he is, I'll bug him, too.

And about the tank -- weren't you all going off about how chicks dig your big tropical muscles? Hmm?

you know i'm willing to help with the stand, baby. just let me know if you need my help with anything.

do you know where arcanus keeps the router? a router and cable modem reboot might fix the internet problem.

I did that, but that isn't the problem.

I can help with the tank as long as it's not on Thursday, this weekend, or next Tuesday.

With your connection, if you have a modem most companies offer free dial-up service to customers. Otherwise, *shrug*.

I kind of enjoyed the silence, actually.

I have 15k baud modem, but with the only working phone jack in the room without computers, I doubt this will be a solution unless [livejournal.com profile] lepidosiren gets desperate enough to run a very long phone cord into my bedroom. Such desperation I just can't muster.

We have the same problem with my computer (with the cord, not the modem). We have to run a long extension cord to hook up to the DSL until we get a wireless router... You'll give in once the jonesing kicks in. Unless of course work usage tides you over...

The Stand

How are you building that? Angle iron and bolts?

I'm scouring the Big Dig. If I can hotwire a crane, I'll suspend Fluffy over the dining table.
