The day is not starting well

[slowfox]

Interwebz at Castle Fox seem to have crashed, despite two router re-boots. This could, just possibly, be connected to the long, protacted decay of the phone lines at my place (the line's now dead on the phone itself, but the router was still working, so I wasn't too bothered). Which I s'pose means that I'd better get it sorted somewhen. Does mean that my Order of the Phoenix Re-Read posts might have to shift to weekday mornings, when I usually have a connection. But it might all be working this evening, so who knows?

They're drilling outside the office, so it's somewhat noisy here (which is not quite a pre-emptive excuse for today's Killer, but possibly close), and finally I got a message from amazon telling me that the book I ordered last week won't now be coming because... it's out of print, and they can't lay their hands on a copy anywhere. You would've thought that they could have stopped advertising it then. New edition comes out on 1 October, so that'll have to do, but 'tis a bit of a shame.
