I'm pretty sure my trip to the GDC, which has already
been pushed back two days at least, is not going to happen at all at this point.
We're in the midst of an interesting few days here, as both loonyboi's and my
ISDN lines are still both on the fritz, each line seemingly operational, but
unable to connect to either of two ISPs, spitting back simple "you have
been disconnected from the computer you dialed" messages. So far neither
Bell Atlantic nor our main ISP (loony and I live mere blocks from each other,
which doesn't help when a problem like this breaks out) have been able to
provide any help, though neither are ever very useful in spots like this, Bell
Atlantic because, well...because,
and our ISP because they're so used to trouble-free operation they are unable to
even return simple tech support phone calls (they probably assume such calls are
hoaxes). Oddly my friend Abraxas using a different ISP and different telco in a
different state (New Jersey), experienced the exact same problem, while MrCoffee
on the same ISP, albeit in Manhattan, has been fine, which muddies the water
when searching for clues as to the cause of problems. Wacky, huh? Well both of
us have our modems hooked up and running, but since troubleshooting also
continues in the background, your patience in what is still a bit of a crisis
here is appreciated... though of course neither of us expect any mercy if we
manage to join a game with our high pings--revenge on an LPB is always
appropriate
