The annoyance level I am at right now is reaching a maximum, really.

So, I am supposed to be working on this lady’s website that I was hired to “fix” (it’s WAY past broken, trust me - I’m sure the feds want to have a full lock-down and condemn the place), and anyways, let’s face it, I enjoy working on websites anyways in my free time (See here or here).

So about a week ago I try to log into my webspace via FTP (it’s kind of like accessing files over a network, only it’s over the Internet and it’s more secure). At any rate, I was HIGHLY upset when I found out that I couldn’t get into my web space.

I went through ALL of the diagnostics, and after running a port-checker, I found out that the free wireless network that I am getting at my apartment is BLOCKING all of the ports to FTP!

A deeper look into the ports that they were blocking included some of the programs that I use on a daily basis: VPN clients, AIM (WTF?), and IRC. Soooo I’m seriously considering forking over 30 bucks a month for my own, personal internet connection through our cable.

After I convulsed on the floor for a bit after finding out that my free-time hobby was GONE, I realized that I would actually have to find something else to do with my free time. Like…studying? And…using a thing-y that looks like a writing utensil and is used to create “homework” things…

Ack, whatever, I’ll just go back to staring out my window and wondering if my computer could survive a drop through it (I live on the third floor of my apartment complex)

Yeah…maybe…
