My internet access is through Comcast and I lost access to my blog approximately 2 weeks ago and during that time I knew it was still accessible. I was still getting emails that new subscribers were signing up. It wasn’t left and right but it’s still appreciated. I sent a direct tweet to Frank Eliason (@comcastcares) and he was extremely professional and helpful in trying to help me figure out what my problem was. He even put his colleague Bill on the case, who is also very helpful and professional. Frank even made the call to have someone come to my home to replace my cable modem. Even though that didn’t fix the problem here’s what did. I had to manually reset my netgear wireless n router (which normally rocks the casbah btw) to pick up the new ip address that was assigned to my new cable modem and all is well in the world of JohnB now.
I have my internet access and access to my blog as well … makes me happy
All this week I’ve been in a really weird feeling mood. I haven’t been really been inspired to really write anything. While it appears that I’m writing about not being inspired, that’s not exactly what I’m getting at here. A lot of time you have to push yourself to do what needs to be done, and that’s with anything in life. Procrastination really doesn’t do anyone any good, unless it’s out of one’s control, that’s a bit different.
I have been feeling a bit down since my wife and kids left for Ohio. My wife has family up there and it’s just too quiet here these days. My home is usually really boisterous, noisy. I guess over the years since my kids have been born, I’ve gotten used to the noise, the screams, fights and various objects getting broken and since that’s not happening it just feels empty, like something is always missing. My wife and kids will eventually come back home again and I can’t wait to see them again. I miss them so much. You know you love someone when you get all mushy and they’ve barely been gone for a week.
That must be the reason for the mood I’m in. Yeah I’m keeping in touch with the children and my wife but it’s just not the same as if they were here. You could say that it’s the next best thing. It’s just not the same. I miss them a lot.
