I was all geared up to play a few hands last night.

Didn't happen. Consider yourself lucky - no bad beat stories.

So I was watching something online on Sunday night when my internet crapped out for no apparent reason. I recently switched to Charter and everything was working perfectly fine. Until it didn't work at all. I figured it wasn't a big deal and just went to sleep.

Tried it again last night. Nothing. It's not finding a DNS. I tried unplugging the cable modem and plugging it back in. Nope. Took it off the router and ran an ethernet cable to my computer. Nope. No internet. Checked outside, the cable is still in place. Checked out the settings, everything appears to be in order.

Sigh.

The Charter support website didn't offer any blinding insight in the couple minutes I've spent. So far I've determined that I should keep the cable modem unplugged for at least 30 seconds. And I should try rebooting. Again.

Yeah, that's going to work.

I have a bad feeling that I'm going to end up having Rajiv from Bangalore telling me how much of an idiot I am sometime tomorrow.

F***ing technology how does it work.
