Someone (I will not say who in order to protect dogpooh's anonymity), was supposed to purchase and install a lightning surpressor for the Internst stuphs. However, not having done this, and not understanding that the lighting actually checks for this before striking close to your house, the lightning of last night blew out the gateway off the cable modem ( Read more... )

Well, not quite afternoon, and I started yesterday, so does that really count? :-) I finally had enough of the silly Facebook applications, so I wrote "Fling Monkey Pooh" so I could fling pooh at everyone who sends me silly applications.
