Been pretty busy, and actually chose sleep over updating the last couple of nights. But I figure it's about time. Been having continued issues with Comcast. Tuesday it was down again, so Tracy had to go in, yet again, but a tech came out around noon, and actually found a problem: loose connection at the house junction and loose and leaky disconnected cable at the pole. After he fixed those, it was solid for the rest of the day and night. Except when I was getting ready for bed, and actually trying to update. There were more issues again, but not with the cable modem not having a signal, rather network issues somewhere upstream. But right before I went to bed, it was back up and running. When I checked in the morning while feeding Lucy, it was back to being unresponsive. And calling in to Comcast heard a message that they're doing network something that should be done by 5am; this was at 6:30am. But looking at their Network Health page and it wasn't displaying any outages. So Tracy went in again, and so did I, which was nice, because we had an all hands meeting and they provided coffee and donuts. So that was cool. And when I got home the AT&T DSL Modem had been delivered, so I set that up. So now we have a backup system, which hopefully is fast enough for us to work remotely, but at least we've finally got something. And it's a fairly low cost. So Today, Thursday, we both get to work from home, as the Comcast connection is nice and stable. But I've been pretty crazy busy with work. Lucy's still not back to sleeping through the night. We've got fruit flies again, so I've set up the trap again. Also got ants again, so put out another trap on Tracy's side of the office, and they've been eating away, so hopefully they'll all be gone by tomorrow. And I'll be in the office tomorrow and Monday. So I guess I get to eat more unhealthy stuff again.
