I'm all alone in the world (At the moment, anyhow. I'm assuming Bernie will be in at some point.) and the network is down. Rather, the internet access is down.

I checked both server closets and nothing has red lights showing. That's about the extent of my expertise in these matters.

I took a chance and rebooted the exchange server. Of course, I don't know the password to bring it back up, so I'll have to call DiamondGirl at home. (It's sad to be on vacation and still be bothered with work stuff, I know.)

If that fixes the problem, then it's okay. If it doesn't, well, there are three other servers in the closet, but honestly, I don't think just randomly rebooting them is the solution. Or, I could reboot a DSL modem or two, in spite of the absence of red lights.

Brooding over server closet.... Choosing and rebooting a modem....

Okay. Well, one of those things seems to have fixed the problem.

Now I can get online, but I can't check my personal e-mail, because that server seems to be down.

Sometimes the world makes Monday's more work than I think, strictly speaking, they really need to be.

I had a good weekend, though. I didn't go on a spending frenzy like I did last weekend, but then I haven't finished reading all the books (or wearing all the clothes) I bought, either, so that's okay. (Well, I mean I hadn't read them all. I finished the last one yesterday evening.)

I also haven't gotten the wireless network fixed at home. I brooded over that for a while yesterday but I didn't come up with any brilliant solutions. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall the software. If that doesn't work, I guess it's new router time.

Making, of course, the third router I've had to buy. Technology is an expensive hobby.

Dammit. Internet access is down again. No...now it's back up.

It's going to be one of those days, isn't it? (OTOH, an e-mail just popped into my box saying Bernie won't be in the office today, so it won't be that bad.)
