I can SSH and email, but I can't reach any website and my MSN barfed right in the middle of a really fun chat with \"[info]\"<\/a>raspberrysalmon<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

SHENANIGANS, I say!<\/p>\n

\n

Edit: well, it's not just me. I just spoke with a friend who's also on videotron and he's also having weird connection problems. Some websites load, others not, and MSN is also dead. *shakes fist at videotron*<\/p>\n

It was funny though. Before we parted ways, I'd managed to get back in touch with Tia by SSH'ing to one of our office servers, forwarding the X-display over SSH tunnel to my home desktop's X server and using a web-based chat client through Mozilla. Now for most of you, this will sound like gibberish. For those of you who understand that last sentence, yes, I can hear your teeth gnashing. It was heavy, it was clunky, it had the lag from hell, but at least it worked :)<\/p>\n

Rc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: it's a holiday here – I'm still pre-coffee<\/font>
\nTia says: LOL… oh dear!!<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: brb – coffee went boing<\/font>
\nTia says: hm… is it supposed to do that? <\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: yes it is<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: on my machine anyway <\/font>
\nTia says: *trying to imagine coffee going boing*<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: well, it's not really boing<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: it's more gurgle-gurgle-gurgle-fssssssssssssssh<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: but boing is faster to type<\/font>
\nTia says: ROFL<\/font>
\n[…]
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: and what did your folks think of you getting a stack of DVDs from some unknown canadian?<\/font>
\nTia says: well, first of all, they were warned<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: warned?<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: I now merit a warning label?<\/font>
\nRc – wielder of the 12-gauge pillow of doom! says: danger may cause recently-ingested fluids to exit through nasal orifices?<\/font>
\nTia says: YUP<\/font>
\nTia says: you DEFINITELY merit that one!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
