Connectivity 0

I find it eerie to wake up and find my internet connection is working. As I mentioned earlier, I was experiencing connectivity issues. Were it not for my cellphone hotspot, I would not have been able to maintain my stream of drivel . . . .

Last week, I prevailed upon my ISP to send a tech to my house, and he seems to have fixed it. I will admit that I have some grumps with my ISP, but their tech support is excellent.

I had earlier switched out my modem for a “new” modem from my ISP’s local store, and it turned out that the new modem was dodgy (if I were an ISP and someone moved away and returned their modem, I would repackage it too). The support tech did his thing and installed a different modem, and the connection has been rock solid ever since. But I am still somewhat surprised to get up in the morning and find that the connection is still working.

Of course, with my luck, when I wake up tomorrow, it probably won’t be working.:{

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
