As I type this, I am disconnected from the Internet.  A server at Qwest has gone out and my DSL is inactive.

At 10:30 or so this morning the Internet sort of started dying from home, while I was reading my email from work.  Slowly.

At first, I had 60% packet loss, with sporadic total failures.  Then around three or four o'clock, I completely lost access and it wouldn't come back.

So now, with nothing to do or read, I sit here making this entry to memorialize the shamed feeling of disconnectedness, when instant access to the library of information known as the Internet is gone.
