I'm back on the net! The Tiscalli spirits did it all in 7 days. They told me I'd be connected on Monday. I'm yet to receive my "Welcome pack" containing modem and so on, that will probably come on Monday as they said but since I'm using my own modem anyway it seems I can access the net before Monday. My connection has dropped a once though it seems quite stable now so with a bit of luck this will stay like it.

What was it like going without the net for an entire week? Well it wouldn't be the first time I have done it, for example when I go on Holiday I don't have the net however never have I sat at home using my PC and not had the net so this was different. Overall I'd say I felt very restricted, I ended up hacking on LogicFury and playing a few games but even doing that wasn't as good without the net. For example, sometimes I reference the on-line PHP manual (I don't have an offline copy) or I might Google the best way of doing something with PHP and find examples but this was impossible of course. As for gaming, I had to use some old graphics drivers as I had recently reinstalled Windows before my net was cut off but didn't set it up properly, this and not being able to download no-cd cracks and game patches to fix bugs was indeed annoying.

I felt rather disconnected from this huge network that has become a part of my everyday life, my computer seems boring and lifeless without it. I'm glad it's back, hopefully it wont be too long before my now recurring nightmare of waking up and finding the net isn't connected is no longer dreamt
