I found out today that there's something wrong with our Comcast internet. And yes I know, the problem is it's Comcast, hah hah, but seriously. It's like I'm using Dial-up again. Within the past week and a half or so, the internet's been cutting out more than usual. I've found out why. Every time the phone rings, the internet's gone. I tested it earlier, and yep, that's exactly it. It's annoying cause we always get fuckin' spam calls every hour.

I don't know if this (or Trelior's) is exactly your issue or not, but that sounds like the time we had a cordless phone. The first few months I thought the problem was with Comcast, but I figured the pattern out and checked out the phone. It was hardwired to use 2.4 GHz to communicate with the base, which was interference with our router and it's internet. No matter how close we put our devices to the antenna, it wouldn't receive anything; when that call ended, BOOM! Internet. We had a set of cordless phones, but they seemed much more powerful and was the set that wiped the signal out. A slightly older set we had didn't interfere badly, but the phone stopped working. We lost flexibility and we now have a corded phone. Again, this might not be your situation, but it may possibly explain a little bit to others as well.

I'll be starting school in a little less than two weeks, on the Monday after next. Unlike all other years, we will have no fall breaks from this point on because the board used it to extend the summer.

I went to pick up my brand new laptop that our district bought and configured earlier this summer. It's really contradictory for all of them to ship with 4GB of RAM with 32-bit Windows 7 Professional. That's only 2.92 usable GB! You might be thinking, "at least you can use 16-bit programs, right?"; I don't want to do what I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do.
