Netblock Outage
In this edition of Everything Goes Wrong in the Internet, Cogent, the company who provides network services to my server in Los Angeles, has been having some serious issues with their network yesterday and tonight. All attempts to contact my server in Los Angeles are failing; they're stopping either in New York City or in Washington, D.C., depending on the origin of the attempt. And, it's not just happening to me; there are at least 200 other Internet addresses affected by this outage. As per usual, all my emails have gone unanswered.
I can't wait to get my server back.
In other news, my vet's phone number was "temporarily disabled" by the phone company yesterday, and by the time I could get through to their office to ask when Pixel's appointment is, they were closed. So, my talk at CMU, which happens some time between 2:00 and 4:30 today, may have to override the importance of Pixel's check-up at the vet. Hopefully, the vet will be able to see her on Monday or Tuesday, instead.
Sigh.
Oh, but I did watch Dark City tonight, which started off very well and had me quite hooked but then gradually lost its cinematic luster and had a very disappointing ending.
Alas, perhaps sleep will make this day go away.
