then something went *frizzle*

  <div>Ok, so I&#39;d just managed to get over my disatrous weekend of hardware failure in my PC, and I was starting to actually get back to normal operations after a clean install of everything. The upgrade on my connection went fine by the way, it&#39;s still capped at 2mbit while BT automatically calculate what the stable transfer rate is for the line.<br /><br />So yeah, everything&#39;s running smoothly again until I get home from work and find my router responding <em>very</em> slowly, at first I thought it was just a simple networking issue but soon realised that wasn&#39;t the case. I did a simple soft reset of my router and casually waiting for all the nice pretty lights to flash and blink away. Nothing. Apart from the power light there was nothing. I stared intently at it while i reset it again. Once more i was blinking-lightless. Ok, drastic times call for drastic measures a hard reset was performed. Nada. I could&#39;ve actually kicked the little black box half way to.. ermm... somewhere and back I was that pissed off.<br /><br />Now I have to go and spend more money on an un-expected hardware failure. *sigh*<br /><br />So, the new layout is done, i like fluidity, and i put the message box back on, still need to sort out dealing with spammers properly though, it&#39;s getting on my wick.<br />Out. Laters<br /></div>
