So I was working on the aforementioned Spy vs. Spy scenario and finally making some progress when all the sudden the dern Internet up and broke. Well, Pa and I hitched the mule to the wagon and rode into town. We bought us a new Internet and threw the old one away, so we’re all set there.
But seriously… as if I didn’t have enough else going on, Windows Update decided to hijack about 50 connections between one of my user’s PCs and the Windows Update service. And each connection was repeatedly trying to download about 43Gb of content. 50 x 43 = 2150Gb – that’s 2.15 terabytes. Yeah, my Internet connection is good and all, but not TERABYTE good. Come on, now.
Then, in the midst of all this fun, a nearby APC power unit blew out noisily. So look out all you electronics (ByTor, that includes you)… my fingers shoot lightning bolts or some such computer-killing stuff. Beware.
Oh, and the conference room projector decided it was fed up and stopped projecting stuff. Just before an interview and a client meeting. I had the projector sit on my couch and tell me its troubles, and now it is working again… but I suspect it harbors resentment. I’ll need to play a comedy DVD through the projector or something to raise its spirits.
