At least at my home desktop. I'll still run Ubuntu at work. To be able to sync my iPhone and to finish off a video project I am working on, I have decided to say good bye to Gentoo Linux and reinstall Windows onto that disk. I am quite handicapped when I cannot sync my iPhone, and, frankly, Gentoo was messing things up when I tried to do a simple upgrade of some packages, so I'm running here with one leg chopped off, metaphorically speaking, of course.

So now I am backing up 90 Gibibytes of data to my server. It surely takes its time, even though I transfer with 10 Mb/s.

Having your Windows disk gasping for air when you are almost complete with the Top 5 Super Nintendo Games video. Well, almost is probably a bit erroneous to say, since I have to edit the video and, more important, get the video cuts from the last 4 games.

The good thing is that I still have my Linux box, so I am taking backup of all files to this disk. *sigh* Things aren't as easy as I'd like.

Okay, this is weird.

Suddenly our Internet connection went seemingly dead. As a routine I started up and tried to connect to vg.no. It worked. Now what..., I thought and tried to connect to my homepage, robertjacobsen.net. Nothing.

At this point I'd tried to connect to MSN and GTalk several times, but I keep getting disconnected. Other sites are responding: My Opera, NRK, Dagbladet, Nærkanalen (for some wicked reason), but my link out of the country seems to have died. I cannot even access the website of our ISP, Bredbåndsservice.

Has anyone stumbled upon the fiber cable?

Edit: Oh, wait, it suddenly worked again. I think the assumption above was correct.
