Internet Down. Spooks Have Arrived.

While I'm at work I typically have a ssh session open to my box at home for various tools, utilities, and functions that cannot be done at or from work. Not because they are against policy or because they are bad just because they have things locked down pretty tightly. But my connection got dropped a couple times, which isn't too out of the ordinary as sometimes the work internet is a bit flaky. After about the 3rd or fourth disconnect I wasn't able to reconnect but I could connect to another box that I have access too. Which could have meant my power went out, my computer at home up and died on me, my house went missing from the earth so I had nothing to connect too, or the more probable my router needed a reboot, but no my cable modem refuses to talk to the rest of the internet. Comcast is sending someone out tomorrow. I checked the cable junction box outside and found some what appeared to be freshly cut and reconnected cables, I suspect someone from comcast has been there recently for something else and broke my shit while doing whatever they were doing.

It's laundry day so I'm posting from the Laundromat. Otherwise I'd just hookup with my cellphone and post.

The good news about all this is that Spook Country arrived today so I'll get a good start in on that with my quite, disconnected evening.
