I switched over to Clear for innernet service two days ago- things. Went well yesterday and last night.... Not so much this morning. I woke to find I was without Internet service. 40 minutes later, I am reconnected.

Yay, one would think.

Think again. I wind up on home.clear.com, which proceeds to ask me questions so I can finish setting up the account. Dunno why this didn't turn up yesterday, but okay. I answer the questions, agree to terms, then close and reopen the browser so I can have my Internet.

Only to return to the home.clear page. I go o.O and hit the homepage button. It takes me to the home.clear page. As does the bookmarked link. Oh-kay.

This is happening on the iTouch as well.

Joyous. So I call the helpline- which gets me to 'server not found'. Fast forward 33 minutes and we have gotten pretty much nowhere, and I have to eat so I can go to work.

I thank the guy and hang up.... Then hook up my former provider so I can play my game apps and chaeck my email. The laptop won't connect but the iTouch does, so yay there.

Then I discover the laptop has frozen. I manage to unfreeze but then get a startup error, and Paul (the laptop) would like to run start repair.

What?

It's now ten minutes before I have to leave, so any repairs will have to wait until after work; and wouldn't'cha know it's one of my rare 8 hour days. :/

It's now after work, and startup repair #1 couldn't fix anything. Startup repair #2 decided to do a disk check and is currently repairing bad sectors. Fingers are crossed this can be fixed this way because I can't afford a technician.

Although I may just charge it to Clear because everything was working fine Friday.

Fortuntely, Michael (my iPod Touch) is unscathed and doubles as a computer for the short term.

Edit: repairs hopefully performed and restart initiated. ::crosses all digits:: Ow.
