I blocked myself from the internet with my firewall,
and it took me over two hours to figure out why I couldn't connect.

:dunce: :banghead:

I really need to calm down and trust my firewall.

Did you feel like a limb had been amputated? Bet you breathed a big, heavy sigh of relief when you realised what a doofus you'd been :rofl:

*On edit: Mods, with the new and stringent civility routine please be aware that calling someone 'a silly bugger' is a term of endearment in Oz and NOT an insult.

2. Actually,
it IS kind of disturbing how intense that withdrawal panic is. :wow:

I look forward to the day when we all have the internet in our foreheads.
