Modem fail

I've been down for about 26 hours. Yesterday a couple of minutes after noon, something happened that broke connection between Regulus, my Qube, and the cable modem. Just now a Comcast technician replaced the modem and now I'm back up again.

It looks like the ethernet interface on the modem died. Anyway, back in business!

UPDATE:You know, it's a lonely feeling to loose net access. I felt very isolated.

UPDATE: What I was really afraid of was that the Qube had died. It's been soldiering nicely for 12 years, which is a lot. (I'm tempted to say that it's like 200 people years, but...)

1 Have you thought about what you're going to do when the Qube goes?

Yeah, and I tried to do it this time only it didn't work.

When the Qube dies, finally, then I'll run the cable modem into the Netgear hub and use it for my firewall. And that'll be the end of USS Clueless.

Steven, do you have any interest in preserving the site?
