YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Computer errors out the wazoo.

So I try and share what model DSL modem I've got with [livejournal.com profile] simoncion over AIM. This trips off a comedy of errors -- the modem unplugs itself, causing an error, which cascades into a memory dump, which forces a restart, which forces a reconnect to the 'net, which takes about eight minutes now.

So I'm IMing [livejournal.com profile] simoncion with an explanation of all this happy shit, and of course without me even touching the modem, it unsafely unplugs itself (again) and then happily reconnects. I make angry noises, ...ah, and it looks like my whole USB hub is out. Just peachy.
