Lots of little posts as I catch up on reading LJ.<\/p>\n

I haven’t had internet access at home, as I didn’t pay the cable modem bill for quite a while. Right now, I’m sitting in Beaner’s (a coffee joint) using their wireless network with my work laptop.<\/p>\n

The cable modem will be up again on the 16th. Despite the signal that the cable modem is getting (displayed by the bootup light flashing), I have to wait for a cable guy to come out. Their records show that I was disconnected at the tap. Most likely, they were told that I was and just didn’t do it. That’s probably why I had service for so long without paying for it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, they’ve got to verify that the tap is connected and flash the cable modem with some ComCast silliness, because all “new” accounts are being started with ComCast instead of AT&T Broadband. Yay for branding switchover during buyouts. If they try to tell me to load their CD on my computer one more time… “What version of Windows do you run?” “I have two Macs, running OS X.” “Oh.”<\/p>\n
