Today I changed mailing addresses with all the places I could think of.  I also got the apartment cleaned and various services cancelled.  At this point all that is left for the apartment will be a final mail check this weekend and then letting the office know I'm done.  During the week I am aiming for getting some boxes sorted and unpacked.  I ( Read more... )

So yeah... earlier this afternoon I noticed the Internet connection at the house go down.  I continue with my WoWing thinking it will come back up.  It doesn't.  Hrmm.  So I toss a few boxes in the car and come on out to the house (needed to come out this afternoon or tomorrow anyway),.  No DSL signal.  Reboot modem.  Reset modem.  Call ATT.. they ( Read more... )
