I woke up this morning, I was happy as for once I have 2 days off in a row, and I just felt like playing CS:S all the day. Then I took a look at my Internet modem... the led indicating if the ADSL connection is synchronised or not was going on and off, which is not how it should be (consistent on is fine, it means ADSL is synchronised).
As it happens a lot those times, no worries, I just turned the modem off then on again. I wait a few seconds so it initialized... same problem again. As I had things to do this morning, I went out for a few hours, hoping everything was gonna be ok when I would come back. Of course it wasn't. I turned it off and on again. Nothing better.
So I decided to call my ISPs hotline. I waited 5 minutes before I can talk to someone, he let me do some tests on my comp and modem, then said "ok, so we are gonna get some investigation about this. A technician is gonna call you back when investigation will be over. Let's says Sunday, between 9 and 10 p.m, ok ??"
So I said "ok", but I was thinking : "WOOT !!! 4 days without Internet !!! OMG what I'm gonna do !"
I was so desperate this noon that I even decided to try and play agains bot, when just at the moment I created the server, my eyes are attracted to the ADSL led of the modem ... woot it stays consistently on !!
So hopefully I could play on spawnpoint servers this afternoon, chat with Guns, Sapphire and Drifter on IRC this evening and share this with you on my blog...

Lol Sky! One time our internet was down because of a bad storm...cables went down. I felt like such a lost soul!
Got a lot done though! =)

LOL,
I know that feeling I had no internet last weekend and I felt a little "lost" without my daily CSS fix.
