Stupid net connection
Current Mood : Hungry
Currently listening To: Pirelli's Miracle Elixir - Sweeney Todd
My laptop's net connection had died for approximately 2 days. It was so stressful! There was so much work to be done that needed online research, I had little time on my hands and my net connection chose these hour to die on me.
I don't quite know the cause of it, as the laptop could detect the wireless networks at home, as well as everyone else home (there's like, 20 over wireless networks here hurhur) but it could not connect no matter what. For 2 days straight I've tried everything relentlessly.
Checked the firewalls, the anti virus programs, the internet connection. Nothing. I tried re-connecting time and again. Still nothing.
I begged my older brother for help, but he's such a dear so it didn't take much begging =) Plus I'm so glad that he's always around to help with the tech stuff cause I can be such a noob sometimes. I have this amazing capability to just freak out when something goes wrong.
In the end we both gave up, not knowing what the problem was. We're probably clicked on every button and icon there was to click on the laptop just to find the source of the problem. Then big brother told me to just try switching off the main modem and on again, just to tempt our luck.
Holy mackerel it worked!
Like. That was all it took? After all that pain and agony and wasted time, that was all it took?! Note the jaw-dropping effects this had on me. You must be kidding me. It was like some kind of bad joke being played, even though it brought great relief in the end anyway. I broke into a pained laughter. What a waste of efforts T____T
Then life continued as usual. Now I can head on and complete my work.
The official conclusion is that sometimes things like this just happens. It's probably the heavy rain thats been pouring lately that tampered with the wireless connections. Whatever it is, I'm just glad that the problem wasn't the laptop itself, as I would have probably cried myself to death =/
I hate technologies sometimes.
Can't live with them. Can't live without them.
