They're going to shut my power off for four hours on friday. WTF am I supposed to do without a computer or net connection for 4 hours?!?!? 
Notice they put "sorry for the inconvenience" in the SMALLEST type on the page...

I suppose I could fall back to dialup access, and use my laptop.
Of course, with my luck, I'll get a notice from the phone company tomorrow saying my phone line will be out, too

Shroomery withdrawal, here you come.

Yeah it's painfully slow, even at 44kbps 
Doesn't look like my battery will hold up for the entire outage, either

I love it, power gets turned off and people are worried about there fish tanks. First thing that comes to mind for me is my Plants. No Power=No Air to Roots.
-------------------- "I celebrate the Earth, my home, my mother, my grave, and as long as men are Man they must, if they would preserve the integrated being, do the same---[and preserve]--this rank casual hungry smelly sweaty lusting transitory body, my oozy pulpy liquid-bag-swollen body, bones, blood, hair glands, my bejeweled sex; I love and celebrate it all. never to let men forget that they are animals as much as gods---that is one thing I shall say." Edward Abbey
