0wnz0r3d by an electrical storm   
Thursday, December 19 2002 @ 08:03 AM CST
By David L. Farquhar

We had some more downtime yesterday as my DSL connection got 0wnz0r3d. Not by a script kiddie, but by an electrical storm--thankfully just a rainstorm and not thundersnow--and I fell off the 'net.

I reset the DSL modem when I got home and all was well.

I'll be back this evening with a (gasp!) programming piece. Well, pretty lame programming, really. But what good is having the GPL around if you don't take advantage of it?
