Well, since I haven't posted in awhile, I figured I'd drop a quick note on here while I'm at work, just to say that, hey, my Internet's actually up and running again at home. It turns out that something happened to the modem, and on a whim Gerard unplugged it and plugged it back in, and suddenly it worked. So, thankfully, AT&T Shitband wasn't fully to blame...though they are still idiots...
More later, on presents and such...when I get home of course...
