Home network woes

My cable modem stopped working around 10:30 this morning, which is bad. Real bad. I don’t think you appreciate how much of your life is truly tied to your ability to get online. Sure, there’s dev’ing and irc. But there’s also banking. Maintaining your online store (in my wife’s case). There’s mail. Oh, the mail…and since from work I don’t have ssh access to anywhere but home, which I use to gateway out, I also don’t have access from work to anything that isn’t web based.

Ack.
