EDIT: Apparently technology is kicking my butt in more ways than I posted about, since this post, too, was stuck in digital limbo for a bit. Look Twice, or more specifically, remote posting to Look Twice, really is fixed now!
There’s enough to do at work this week without technology glitches and failures stepping up to make life more ermmm… interesting. So, what happens? One of the routers goes belly up.
I think I might actually be lucky it didn’t catch on fire or something. When I disconnected it, it was hot. Really hot. Nothing else plugged into that power conditioner or that outlet seemed to be having any problems, and nothing else seemed to be running a temperature. So off to Office Depot I went to buy a cheap router to get us through a few more weeks. Some upgrades are planned, and since the old router would have only had to make it a few more weeks… it didn’t.
I guess I should also be glad it didn’t wait until I was on vacation to go belly-up. It would have created much greater panic if that had happened.
Office Depot had misinformation and a cheap router on sale for me. The misinformation didn’t mislead me, and the cheap router is happily taking care of things and not overheating and not almost catching on fire. And not going belly up!
