Don't Pay the Ransom, Maw, I Escaped!
Sorry to do a Bush and go all aWol on ya the last couple of days. Weird little storm came through Wednesday night and Thursday morning we had no phone lines working. Apparently a lightning strike hit just right to fry an underground line down the road aways and BellSouth's ever-diligent repair crews....well,anyway, it took awhile to find and fix.
Very weird feeling though having no Internet all day. No news except from TV, can you imagine? I was Telecom Tommy: the deaf, dumb and blind kid, can't do no blog at all.
So our topic will be: have you made any preparations in case a Mysterious Technical Glitch takes down the Internet sometime in late October? Wouldn't even have to be the whole net, just, let's say, a terrible crash at Google that knocked out all the Blogger/Blogspot sites.
(That's Atrios, Digby's Hullabaloo, Orcinus, TBogg, Hoffmania--not to mention corrente--all toast.)
Got any arrangement in mind? Exchanges of private emails, phone numbers? Or do we just flood the sites still up like refugees heading for the Red Cross tents?
One thinks deep thoughts when without a blog fix for nearly two whole days. And not happy ones.
