My actual post will be delayed today because of this maddening piece of equipment that you see on your right. It is my DSL box. See the red light on? Of course you do, and I have seen it all morning...The worse thing is that if it can't find a connection the annoying red light blinks. Why does the light have to blink mockingly at me? Who was the geeky designer that felt not only to give the user a head's up as to a problem, he or she also made the damn light blink in order to give the Matt-Man a red, pulsating F-U every half second? Some people are pure evil.
I will try to post and read your blogs today but this looks like it may be one of those less than fully connected days. Cheers...

The light is not blinking in the picture...It seems to be on solid ...so what's the problem?
=]
Ummm are those your flowered bedsheets?
Bond: Y'know, so there is a bucolic runner atop the antique table that cradles my computer. Is that so wonnnnnng?
Oh no! :(

Maybe the blink was put there just so non-techie people like myself wouldn't ignore it? I am much more likely to ignore a solid light... Come to think of it, "check engine," ought to blink.
Poor Matty~~Have cows recently moved into your neighborhood? When they fart here I get disconned... maybe that's your woe?
Rut Roh ...
Houston we have a problem...
Why does your dsl box look so much bigger than mine???? Huh?
Seriously tho, I hope you resolve your problem soon....
Peace
Be careful, be very careful. Sometimes those blinking red lights make you want to do bad things. Like picking up that DSL box and smashing it.
Hope all is good soon.
sometimes there is a little recessed hole where you can insert a bent paperclip to reset the thing.
Ooohh, I know what you mean. Even the Evil Eye has gone digital.
I have to call my service provider more frequently than I like to....it's so annoying, especially considering that my ISP outsources to India.
I just tagged you for the "8 Things I Know"
Is that a USB DSL modem? If so, that's your first problem.
I think they are spying on you...
I know what you mean Matt. Been there with the FOAD light myself.
DSL...go cable. Then you only have to call one company to bitch about your TV and your internet. And now they are introducing phone service! Yippee! One company to bitch at about 3 different things in the house.
The only problem I have with my cable modem and wireless router is that the router loses connection every 7-10 days. So I have to disconnect and then reconnect the power. It works fine for another 7-10 days.
Go cable young man!
I've met the man who designed the led that led to such blinking lights. He was born again. 'Nuff said.
Thanks for all of the comments folks. Things cleared yesterday afternoon, but by that time it was time for me to work on world peace. All is well now and I'll check out the tag Jamie. Trav, I refuse to give any more money to the damned cable company but thanks for the thought. Cheers All!!
*wipes giggle tears and blows nose**
Oh crap! You and Vinny had me busting my gut!
**looks up bucolic in the dictionary**
Isn't that something about sick, noisy screaming babies?
HA...Yes Julie, nobody wants a bucolicy baby. Cheers!!
