I’m back!
The internet is back up, now that we’ve switched providers. The old provider didn’t set up a work order to have the phone line switched, so it took days longer than it should have. You will not be surprised to hear that we were dropping them for being unreliable and unresponsive.
Things are still a little sporadic, and I think I’m missing a bunch of mail from earlier this week. Hopefully there weren’t too many order inquiries, but there’s not a whole lot I can do about it.
In other computer news, tomorrow I have an appointment at the Mac store to have my MacBook looked at. The plastic around the edges of the keyboard part have cracked and peeled off, forcing me to cover the gap with packing tape. Also, the W key has popped off. One of the tiny bits of plastic underneath has broken, so it kind of floats above the space where the key would normally fit. It’s a bit confounding since so many websites start with www. I’m working around this by pushing W, then cutting and pasting that letter, and then simply pasting it where it would normally go.
My appointment is for 9am, but the store doesn’t open until 10. I called the store to verify that this was correct and spoke with some guy named Joe.
Joe: Yes, that’s correct. If you show up at 9am, there will be a genius here.
Me: That’s a bold claim, my friend.
Joe: Well, there will be a guy in a shirt that says genius.
Me: Good enough!
So tomorrow, hopefully my Lappy will be back on the road to health.
Post later with knitting content. Just wanted to post so I could once again breathe the fresh air of the internet. Smells like freedom!
Given recent political developments, is it significant that is is the W that is missing?

Most sites, you can just type them in without the www and your address bar will automatically insert it for you…

This is true. I guess it’s more of an issue for blogging, because I can’t say “we” anything. It’s all you and I. It’s not very cozy!

*lol* I feel your pain. For a while, my sister’s phone would censor me everytime I made a “sh” sound. I’d hear a beep, but she wouldn’t hear half the word I was saying. So I couldn’t say she, or sheep, or shock, or shoot, or even porch! That made for some roundabout conversations.
