680x0's Journal: *&#&*@ Power Lines

It wasn't bad enough that (Hurricane) Isabel interrupted our power for about 24 hours (11pm Thursday to 11pm Friday), but now it's making our power flicker (are they working on the lines somewhere?) and that may have something to do with why our cable modem service is out (and has been since sometime during the night). And Comcast really ought to make it easier to contact them. They seem to take perverse pleasure in removing all phone numbers from their webpage.

So, at the moment, our whole network (steeds.com) is down, to protect the computers from power fluctuations. Grrr....

Update: We lost 1 cable modem, 1 ethernet switch, 1 television, 1 VCR, 1 old computer, and possibly an old VGA monitor. I've replaced the cable modem, but so far Comcast hasn't enabled it. And a melted powerstrip.
