Preserved Topic: My internet is *down*. Life is on hold. (Page 1 of 1)

Ack! How can I live this way, what will I do? My internet went down Monday evening, and here it is Wednesday, still no internet. If we're lucky I'll be back online tomorrow, if not? ARRGHHhhhhh!!!!! Internet cafés are good things, but really, no substitute for the "real thing". (I'm trying to work on two different sites, both of which are half client/half server based code, so it's *really* hard to do my work, too! Life sucks with no internet.)

Your pal, -doc-

=(

*smacks ISP provider*

Can't you see the Doc needs to work.

Once your connected, you can never live without it. Well you can but only for while and as your deepy connected with work, life, about 10 sister site to keep up, etc it's going to be hard.

If it's not fixed by tomrrow just hold on there. Or just ask Emp for his internet socketed. I think it's at the of his head I think , hehe!!!

Well I hope you get back, all normal and 'CONNECTED'!!

Maybe the Doc needs addiction therapy...

... Or is he immune to therapy?

doc, i totally agree. i would like this to become my quote of the week on www.thespacebetweenus.com ,but only if you are cool with it of course.

-THE SPACE-

Heh. You can borrow my tomahawk if you wish...scalp those ISP people! The nerve!

Don't they know that the Doc is important? He's one of their best customers!

Hopefully, the internet connection will get fixed soon...I know how it can be, to be cut off from the internet...

*plugs emps back in*

Somebody have an extra ethernet cable? We can just rout Doc's computer directly through emps, no?

man, I knew you had some online stroke but, you have your own internet?!?!? Wow.

Nice smartass remark to welcome you back to service

Jason

Can't somebody lend you a username & password to another ISP?

Heh... or you could get one of those America Online CDs with hundreds of hours free...

Hell, you might switch to AOL permanently!!

Raptor: Thanks that feels much better (I've just been eating handfuls of bees) - if I can be of some use then feel free

I think we need to use some of the old techniques? I have a couple of tin cans and some string although that might be a little low tech for the internet - how about a pad of paper and a pen and you can draw the Internet and stick it on to the front of your monitor

Someone could download the Internett and send it to him on a CD

Hope they fix the connection soon. I had problems connecting to a lot of different sites (Google, the Asylum etc.) last week and I thought that was bad. Can only image what this is like.. *shudders*

Yeah doc, bad thing...
I using different conections this year, since i dropped my phone line, and internetcafés or things like that are good for surfing and reading mail. Not for working...
Hopefully you get online soon.

Internet by a brain implant and a wireless conection seems a good idea to invent.

Rinswind 2nd: that would be a great idea until someone Denial-Of-Service attacks you... ouch.

I wonder if you could download the internet?

I'm serious. What would it take, besides a fuckload of hard drives?

download the internet? well a brain to figure out the issues related to your question would be a good place to start.

unfortunately those are only handed out at birth, sorry.

cfb - well... it is done regularly, but for archival purposes only.

...because obviously, you can only d/load 'snapshots', and can only get the client side of things...

I mean, is it possible to, right now, using some program, say: "Download the Internet" and get every single file and page etc onto your computer? I about what reitsma is saying, but is it possible to do it from a home computer with lots of disk space?

<joke type="old/net">
To download the Internet, click HERE.

*grin*
Nice Raptor

Man, no joke, not having access is a serious bummer. We do so much online it's amazing if you think about it.

. . : slicePuzzle

I heard scientist in Europe are investigating this vice: people cannot unplugge from Internet.


Maybe we could bring some of those scientis to the asylum, or maybe we can kill them.....

Well, I know that I would be severely screwed if my connection went down. In fact, it has happened for brief periods of time in the past, and I was screwed until I got up and running again. Practically everything I do relies on the Internet...

Maybe it has to do with this?

The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.

---

Why do they feel the need to identify not just hte public, but researchers, historians and scholars particlarly...are they better than us or something. Cause if they are and I didn't get the memo....

Um, yes, last I checked, we are better than you.

I think it was worded that way because they felt researchers, historians and scholars would be particularly interested in such an archive.... I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it if you hadn't said anything.

[Edit: Grammar... *sigh* We may be better than you, but we still can't type a grammatically correct sentence...]

Heh. It's the stretching rack for you, Master Suho!

Imagine, mis-abusing the shocktreatments...well, we got other lovely little devices down in the basement...hehe...

I person I know said that he could download the internet on diskette. I said it will never fit. He said yes it will i'll zip it!
hehe....

I'm back! Yes, now I re-enter the world of those who have not one, but *two* different braodband connections! (Why, you ask? Well, only one of them works right now, so that says it all.) It'll still be 4 more days before what used to be my primary connection (ADSL) is back, so we signed up for a cable internet connection, which took only 2.5 days, hooray!

BTW, yes, I *do* have my own internet, don't you? Once I lost conctact with the rest of it, I set up my local Apache servers to host the 8 or 9 sites that were sitting here all ready to run, inside my network. I actually set my top linkbar in IE to list these sites, and then I went and looked at them! Now if that's not sick, well...

It's funny all the stuff I missed, most of it pointless. The stock market went up! The stock market went down. The Democrats are heroes! The Democrats are idiots. (Squandering the legacy of Paul Wellstone, the first guy I voted for who ever won an election. Ventura was the second. =) Iraq is full of bad people! So is America. I got 38 viruses in the mail. I also recieved 567 spams. I got 7 real emails and one Stan's NetChess challenge.

It's nice to be back. Now I can go back to being my usual, connected self! You may or may not notice the difference, but *I* will!

Your pal, -doc-

Well welcome back Doc!

I'm lucky, this year my ADSL has been down max 4 hrs (that was scheduled), other than that, 1 or 2 hours every other month, maximum. I'm pleased

Hurray the Doc is now a bi-conector...


Btw Doc, can you use both conections from inside your network?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.
