I’m back baby! Real as life and 6 times faster!
Before I start, I want to thank Stella and the kids for standing by me during this trying time, my mother-in-law for her help and letting me use her setup. Mom and Dad for not worrying when I’m not online. Web.de for providing the list of the cheapest places to get onto the information backalley (and of course Stefan who pointed them out to me). Andrzej for letting me leach his DSL and crash at his place, and all my co-workers for their patience. I want to thank PW Fenton for the Digital Flotsam CD he sent me with his old podcasts, which amused me when I could download nothing else. I want to thank Lunatech for watching over my server and killing bad rootkits while I was away.
I want to thank, oswald and the good people at Apachefriends whose platform let me easily swtch around on the various different versions of PHP and mysql that I use in production.
I want to thank my Agents, Murphy, God, who ever it is at T-Online who finally switched me on. I’d like to thank Linus for writing the software that’s powering my new Eumex 300 IP router.
Before anyone flames me, let me point out that while I am truely thankful to be online, this post is partly in jest. I realize that being without DSL is a very minor inconveniece when compared to all the other bad things that could potentially happen to you! So having said that, it’s good to be back!

[...] June: DSL CRASH!!! I try to “upgrade” my connection by switching providers which turns into 3 weeks on dial-up. During this time I camp at friends houses during all night product launches, and drive everyone around me insane. I finally return. World cup is in full swing, and Germany is World Cup CRAZY! I take pictures. I travel to Norway for the eZpublish conference & PHPVikinger. Ammar Ibrahim comes to Frankfurt, we watch some football! [...]
