I couldn’t ping one of our remote devices today. As I happened to be the “least busy” I rented a car and drove out to Oshawa to see if I could fix the problem. The DSL modem wasn’t connecting. I called one of the Oshawa PUC staff and he brought a phone. We plugged that into the line and managed to call his cell phone. After plugging the phone line back into the DSL modem it began work again. I don’t know the it{root cause} of the problem but at least it’s fixed and we know to bring a regular phone with us next time (or ask the local staff to try it).

And then I had to drive back through Toronto’s Friday rush hour traffic.

Wildlife of the day: Finnegan and I saw a fox tonight.
