enismirdalOK, there seems to have been a decree passed.
Our router is to be switched off at midnight.
So if I'm talking to you at about midnight GMT, 7pm EST or 6pm Central and suddenly vanish, it's not that I hate you. In fact, I love you very much but I've had the router switched off.
*fumes*
I've offered to contribute to the internet access, and if I want to explode my head with too much spodding...it's my head!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
*considers ways to get round this*

Date: 14 Dec 2004 22:45 (UTC)If the main computer still has an internet connection probably the easiest way to bypass the block would be to install a proxy server on that machine. Then you can set your programs (web browser, MSN etc.) to connect via that computer - it'll act as a relay. No cable splicing required! AnalogX Proxy is free and pretty straightforward to set up. If you want a more permanent solution, FreeProxy is more flexible and can be set to run as a system service (pretty well hidden unless someone goes looking for it). One other thing - MSN works much better through a SOCKS proxy than a HTTP one - both programs can do this.
Hope this helps, Mark

I'll have to go and investigate what's going on then!
Thanks!

Date: 14 Dec 2004 18:06 (UTC)I think she thinks it's just unhealthy. And objects to the concept of me spodding for half the night and then sleeping for half the day. The thing is, I will stay up till 2am and sleep until noon until I catch up with all the sleep I lost in Cambridge whether I am online or not.
I think it's got to the point now where she is doing it on some abstract principle of "Eni is online too much", possibly because she doesn't yet realise I am using this week as recovery time and therefore will be doing little except eat, sleep and spod until I've got rid of the bone-weary feeling.
They just don't get it...

Date: 14 Dec 2004 19:11 (UTC)suggest taking some time off spodding in the evening instead. Or exchange emails with friends
Possible but awkward, owing to English friends, real-time roleplay and such geekness :) My personal solution would be to conclude, "She's online for 12 hours a day - so what?"

Date: 14 Dec 2004 19:07 (UTC)I like the run away back to Cambridge plan. I think I could probably make out a reasonable case to my DoS at present that it is physically impossible for me to study at home half the time...

RAHHH parents are so annoying aren't they?!! *Sympathy* once again...x
