Finally: I've replaced my dead Supra modem and am now online from home again. Which potentially means more wasted evenings hanging out on IRC 'til the wee hours. Ah, the pain :|

Well, moving house aftereffects still- our dishwasher is so hidesouly silted up that it's blocked, or maybe worse: I discovered that it wasn't even plugged into the mains. And our dryer, which *is* plugged into the mains, simply doesn't work. Nothing life-stopping though.
