per_soloEarlier, before class, I tried to check the internet. NO dice. Reboot, after unplugging the cable modem, still nada. Called support, who had me unplug the router, modem, and shut down the computer.
Still nothing.
They had me disable my firewall...that did it.
Per the woman at Comcast, they have just put out an update that has managed to break ZoneAlarm. They recommended going to their site, and downloading McAfee, for free. I'm reluctant to do this, and don't really know why. I LIKED the functionality of Zonealarm. And knew its quirks...and if I recall, I went to it years ago because of flakes and flaws with Mcafee.
Ok, so that's a problem I'll deal with after this weekend (now on north side of town).
Got to class, got my grade back on my test...77%. Ok, not great..and with the average being 80, I'll count that as good. Turned in homework, only to realize I'd made a HUGE error in it, so feh.
Made it up to my other home, popped in the BBC series "Spaced" and slept..for a good while. Got up, went to half price books...and found a book (well, a set, but I only bought the first of 2 cheap), and the trade for Hellblazer entitled "Bad Habits". Bad Habits was a bit of inspiration for the Constantine movie, so I'm looking forward to that.
And have a weird "blah" feeling around me. No idea what it is, or who it is centering on, just that I feel it, and it's making me feel rougher than normal. Will work on homework later tonight, or tomorrow even. But for now, I'm trying to get my head in proper working condition. :-P
