Back online:

Bellsouth finally came out to fix my internet connection today. It took the guy a long time, apparently both our modem and the USB port on the computer were fried. I've got no idea why my father was using USB for the connection, since it's slow (this computer is not exactly USB 2.0 compatible-- it has a Pentium-II chip) and unreliable, but whatever. We're hooked up through Ethernet now though. Anyway, I fixed the directory permissions on the archives so the permalinks should work and I'll update the sidebar as soon as I finish this post so the archives should be up and running again soon. I have missed UNIX.

I also got my laptop so as soon as our wireless is back up I'll be able to use the internet while watching TV. That sounds so decadent to me.
