Victory is Mine!

[tealin]

After a protracted battle with AT&T, which included many ESL call-centre employees, a malfunctioning website, a voice recognition computer that was incapable of understanding clearly spoken numbers, three separate visits by technicians, and an earthquake, my residence is now connected to the little gradient-filled cloud that is The Internet.

Tonight I have triumphed over the simultaneously stupid ("do not turn off your computer") and baffling Netgear wireless router setup. (I think it was being difficult because I mocked its graphics.) Behold, my computer skills!

Uneventfully.

Aside from ... the event ... obviously.

Oh yes. A few times. I've spent most of my life in places that hav eregular earthquake drills. One of the oddest was a 3-pointer that hit Salt Lake ... I was sitting on the top of a big berm and it felt like there was heavy equipment at work inside the hill. I probably wouldn't have felt it otherwise.

Geologically speaking? COOL.
