wtf

last night, i couldn’t connect to the net at all. looking at all the blinking lights on the modem, it seems that the modem has died (erratic ethernet). but before i head out and get a replacement, i thought to check with tmnet to see if anything’s up. i got to the point where the operator said “please hold on”, but then the fucker hung up on me. i suspect it’s the same guy i scolded the last time i called. i called again but couldn’t get through, just a dead line after going through the automated options.

turds.

so there i was tempted to hop over to section 14 to buy something. i had my bro’s b’day dinner though, so instead i just turned the thing off and hoped that it’d work again when i get back. 3 hours later i turned it on, and it was still konked out. called henry to see if i could borrow his old modem to see if it’d work on my setup, but i couldn’t get him. decided to just leave it at that and go watch some movies instead.

now this morning, i walk out to the living room and see the modem lights alight as they should be. and here i am, finally able to blog about it. what. the. fudge.

so it probably boils down to one thing: tmnet. either tmnet was fucking up my connection, or the tmnet-issued modem was fucking up my connection. either way, it’s all thanks to streamyx. malaysia boleh!
