Today I will recieve an honoured guest into my home. Today, between 5:00 and 9:00 PM on-the-dot, the cable guy will visit and fix my net connection. Well, he’ll look at it, to be accurate, and see if it can be fixed. I’ll hope for the best.
For the last few weeks, I’ve had a packet loss problem. 75% to 100% packet loss is not a good thing, as it basically cripples any network connection. I don’t know where these packets are going, exactly, but this kind of packet loss is only exceeded by the folks at Canada Post.
Where are these packets going? I can only imagine. Maybe there’s some guy in Sweden, sitting at his BØRK pine-laminate computer desk when up pops a bunch of my stray packets.
“Hey Ingemar, did yøu write sømething abøut de cubicles?”
“Nø. Wøuld yøu like anøther meatball?”
No worries. The Cable Guy will fix it for me.
