Yesterday my network problems seemed to ease up after I spent three days' salary on a router, modem, and cables, at the suggestion of France Télécom (I finally got someone who sounded at least vaguely familiar with computers on the telephone).
Then, this morning, my Web server failed solid. So I have no Web site or e-mail at the moment. So I'm still in no position to post anything worthwhile to my blogs (which are inaccessible now, anyway, unless someone types the URL directly).
