Little bit of an explanation

This post is both aimed at Bob and all of our listeners.

I suppose a quick explanation is in order. Honestly and truthfully, the last couple days have been some of the worst and most annoying I’ve ever experienced. For starters, a very good friend of mine was involved in a near fatal car crash. I spent most of the night that we were supposed to record the podcast stuck in a hospital at my friends’ side. Now, Bob told me I was supposed to get on air by about 7PM (Australian time). By the time I saw the time, it was about 7:15. I said my goodbye’s to everyone, rushed home, and jumped onto my computer…Only for my modem to give me the same error every time I would attempt to connect… “The host computer did not respond”. After screwing around with my phone line, modem and computer, I finally decided to give tech support a call.

The guy I called suggested that I try changing some settings and rebooting. I did. My computer refused to turn on. After about 45 minutes of trying to figure out the problem, It [the computer] finally just fixed itself and decided to turn on.

After talking to the guy on the other side for another 30 minutes, we finally came to the conclusion that my line was cut. Long story short, my internet won’t be ready for another week. Which is why I’m at in internet café right now :D .

Well, that’s about it. I know, it probably seems farfetched, and I know this isn’t my personal blog, but I thought I’d explain everything to you guys.

Best Regards,
Ramzy

    Sorry to hear about your friend. Give him/her my regards. Friendship is more important than podcasts so please make sure your priorities are in order.

    I hope you get your internet fixed soon, as well.

    Good luck with everything,

    Eric

    Ramzy! Good to hear from you! But let’s keep things in perspective here… IT’S JUST A PODCAST. Your friend could have died man, and I totally would have done the same thing as you did. Thanks for your dedication, but you made the right choice in staying with your buddy.

    Sorry to hear about your net connection. I thought maybe you had reached your 20 GB monthly limit and were stranded without contact. Looks like I wasn’t far off!

    On another note, I’m going to try to get a very special edition of the podcast out the door tomorrow. We’ll see if I can get it done in time… :)
