I prefer thanking doctors (see below).
I'd rather be phishing!

Sometimes God wants you to visit a doctor before he heals.

So, it is Thanksgiving Day here in the USA and this year I have one significant factor to be thankful for: I was discharged from hospital a few days ago after a heart catherization procedure during which four stents were placed in arteries that supply blood to the heart, to rectify blockages. I am so grateful for modern medical technology for curing the angina and diminishing the risk of a serious heart attack, at least for another decade or so!

Congratulations, Cornelius !

Sounds like "less butter, more running" type of thanks.

When I got my DSL, they gave me this wireless router, which I think is pretty much a piece of crap, but I've never replaced it.
A couple weeks ago, my laptop and desktop stopped "seeing" each other. This was not a voluntary breakup, nor an involuntary one induced by some overzealous admin-parent. I had thought it might be because I had installed some low level TCP/IP drivers on my desktop machine, but no, that was insufficient to drive a wedge between the lovely relationship.
Yesterday was strange. We had a foot of snow. The lights kept flickering, but we didn't lose power, though a lot of the rest of the village did. We have this old coaxial cable line (I don't think it's the DSL, isn't that twisted pair all the way???) between the main house and the carriage house where I live. No, I'm not a horse, it hasn't been used for horses in probably 80 years.
Anyways, several large heavy snow laden branches of fir tree fell on the cable, dragging in to the ground (there must have been a lot of slack somewhere) and across the driveway, which now being 7 PM, pitch black, and accumulating snow faster than fleas on a kitten, I figured something ought to be done.
So I sawed off enough limbs to pull the line free, then we bothered my neighbor on the second floor, whose very handy son climbed out the window onto the second floor "deck" far enough to do something funky with a carabiner and hooked it onto a post protruding from the house (the cable loops through something there as well) while I held the line taught (that's a lot of weight on a cable that's probably 70 feet between the two houses) while watching the snow plows drive by on the street.
So now the line is suspended a good 10 - 12 feet above the ground, out of the way of the future snow plow.
I come back inside, and my girlfriend exclaims that she tried as best she could to keep the fire lit (it was all embers now) and that the wireless had stopped working (yes, we get back to the router now.) Very odd, the wireless light was out, but the Internet light was on, and the Internet still worked (my son breathed a sigh of relief because he does some late night gaming. Sigh.)
Threw some kindling on the fire, closed the doors, and started fussing with the router. A couple hours later I use my cell phone to google resetting the router. I should have done this a long time ago. The directions say, hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Seems like 5 was enough, but I didn't do it right when I tried it earlier - I was holding the reset button while powering on the router, I should have just done the reset after it was powered on.
The default username and password on the website are wrong too. It's not "Admin" and "Password", it's "admin" and "password". Took another 5 minutes to remember that gem from a few years ago.
So, lo-and-behold, after resetting the damn thing, the wireless started working again. Not only that, but my laptop and desktop machines have rediscovered their relationship. Yay! Oddly, the whole Internet experience seems faster too - particularly page loads.
And I think this was just a series of synchronous but disconnected events. I doubt the cable is the DSL line, but I could be wrong. The fire rekindled itself after about 15 minutes and we had a lovely dinner (that is, if you have a passion for lentil soup and brussel sprouts steamed and then covered in butter, and lightly salted and peppered.)
Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
