To those who were in the CI yesterday.
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2005 9:13 amI really, seriously feel like I owe an apology for the sporadic and ultimately failing network connection that killed my chance to RP and probably ruined the RP itself.
However, I have learned what it was. The college I'm at had recently been hit with a number of virus-based DoS attacks (that's Denial of Service for you non-techies), and while they find out whose computers caused it, they thought it was a necessary step to shut down the one dorm that had wireless internet.
Unfortunately, that's the very dorm I live in. I was expecting to be off for quite a while, but the internet came back on around midday. However, I don't expect this to last.
If I cut out on any other RP abruptly and without comment over the next week, this is probably why.
