alexpgpI don't know whether it's the local phone company or my ISP, but I cannot seem to hold a connection for more than a couple of minutes. Feht tells me he has the same problem no matter who he tries to connect with, and has concluded that it's the fault of what passes for a phone company in these parts.
I am still amazed over just how lightly I seem to have gotten off with my adventure of earlier today. I can't see any visible damage... no smell of burned circuits or plastic. Then again, the flame wasn't very hot at all (kinda like the flame you get from alcohol), and I doubt there was enough of a gas-air mix inside the computer for any combustion to have taken place.
I think the CPU fan started working when I blew out the dust, because the flame coming out of the CPU vent was being fed.
But that's enough of that. Hopefully, there was no hidden damage to my computer, and now I know that some canned air products out there are most definitely not inert.
Drew and Shannon made a scrumptious lasagna for dinner. I had two pieces. Then I sat down and finished the translation, which I will send off early tomorrow morning. Right now, I am waiting for an e-mail from Feht that may shed some light on what the client likes to see in terms of crypto-boilerplate terms (do they prefer "requirements specification" or "design specification"). However, we are both at the mercy of whatever it is that keeps kicking us offline.
Better send this off... before the phone company drops me again.
Cheers...
