we all know certain things that happen in the movies never happen in real life
for example,
ugly girls can become a beauty simply by removing their glasses and redoing their hair; any computer system can be hacked into; phones always work unless the killer is near or something bad is going to happen to the user (battery gone flat usually); haunted houses are always run down, dirty and old; bombs are always defused within the last three seconds, never at twelve or twenty seven; whenever you see something strange/unbelievable, if you take someone else back to see the same thing then it will always be gone...
Yet, something really strange happened today
something i thought i'd only see in Fringe or any sci-fi show where things are allowed to happen without regard to reality
My internet has been dead for 3 weeks came back to life this morning
The question is
HOW?
No one came to repair it after i reported to site manager twice and for both times i got the same response
''we don't deal with internet. go to computing service department''
What?!asking someone from computing service in mile end to come and fix my internet??
That doesn't make sense.
A guy in computing service advised me to speak with floyer house manager if it's the wall socket acting up.
''they should be responsible for everything in the inventory''
That makes sense.
ok..I get it. It's a hell lot of work to repair the socket or hub or whatever u call it...imagine have to knock out parts of the wall and change the cable...perhaps this kind of messy task will only be seen to when it's time to renovate the floor
i was fed up with going back and forth and still getting nothing resolved so i resorted to going online in the library
I really thought it'd remain like that until i move into a new room which only happens in july
but dunno why and how
my internet is back on, inexplicably
after 3 weeks
I was more mystified than excited the moment i saw the long-lost ''local area network connected 10.0Mbps'' icon
How is that possible??? (sounds like Broyles)
if that is in Fringe, it'll fall into the category of strange things happen in Walter's lab
unexplainable
so don't bother to reason
just enjoy the internet while it's here
now i wonder if it will disappear when i turn off my computer
should i worry??
hmmm...

no one can write this as good as you.. you addict!
lol?
Unless it's been happening to everyone, means it's something on your end la.
i wonder y my internet slower suddenly..
manage to get online today? :))
kenny: coffee addict or fringe addict?? either one of these is correct:P
solcroft: my laptop was connected to LAN when i tried with a different hub in my friend's room whilst my friend's comp cudnt get connected in my room ..so pretty sure the hub is the problem..still dun understand how this works...it might sound crazy if say it self-repairs...lol
helen: you sound like Menaka :P
ashie: yes i did..can finally breathe a sigh of relief :):)
Actually that happens to be sometimes as well on my wireless router.
Short-term solution: reboot the hub, if you have physical and/or administrator access to it. Long-term solution: get someone knowledgeable to look through the DHCP and IP settings both on the hub and your comp.
that time when they blocked my internet, they asked me to go to the computing service in whitechapel, in garrod building, cant rmb the name,it's at the corner room when u come out fr the lift and turn right, no need to go to mile end..
but goodla, ur internet working liao
