And then ... the crash.
14-Jul-2006So after a hard day's work, and within minutes of posting yesterday's blog entry, what happens? My network crashes and I lose the internet.
It's taken until now, eighteen hours later, to get it back up.
What happened? A bizarre set of coincidences, actually. It began when I created a new mailbox for Dorinda so she could use Entourage on her new laptop. I accidentally erased the primary mailbox password, overwriting it with hers.
A little while later my wireless network dropped out, so I restarted the router. Trouble is, the change in password now meant the router would not recognise the network. Nor could I get into the router and authenticate it. It wasn't until I figured out I had to reset the router to the factory settings that I could get things going again.
Just what I needed. I have deadlines that are months and in some cases years away, but already I feel them crushing me like a garbage compactor.
