ISP outage !
Hi readers,
I have been without internet for the better part of a week due to my ISP getting it’s switchboard fried via a electricity surge from lightning last week – at least I’m impressed with the way it got taken out 🙂
So hopefully over the coming days I’ll be able to post and catch up on everyone’s blogs…
cheers,

Bummer when you are without the internet these days eh Tone!
I had that a few weeks ago due to a faulty Telstra modem and crap service by same!
Nothing like the adventure story of your loss of internet!
hi Mark,
Yeah it is something that I am just used to having at home – I use it more than television. If out and about weeks or longer without net access is no drama.. I guess homelife can get a little routine…
cheers,
tone 🙂
Hopefully you are getting some rain, nice little cell over you at the moment, hopefully it doesn’t fry your Exchange again.
haha – you guessed it one Tom ! just got it back up today 🙂
At least you have power mate, we’ve just got it back after a few days without due to that massive storm…..been quite a nice change actually, except for the stuff in the freezer
Pity about the frozens mate. Where abouts are you located Andrew ? Did you cop the hail, if so what size ?
Clematis, little town before Emerald. Hail was probably 3-4 cm’s but other places had bigger. Still enough to damage car etc. Was more the swirling wind, apparently wasn’t far off being a tornado but you’d know more about that than I.
Nice spot there Andrew – no wonder it has remained green around your area this year.
I was not aware that out that far east copped 3-4’s as well. Sorry to hear that it damaged your car (?). It all depends on the molecular makeup caused by what’s going on upstairs to determine the hardness of the stones. I have had 6cm ones not damage my car, as they were soft conglomerate type in composition, where as others can be solid almost glazed single stones.
There was a few suspicious damage trails in the state from the w/e… some quality video of things would help confirm any tornadoes though !
cheers,
