Theory 1:
While working through the examples for Day Eight of "Teach Yourself Java for Macintosh in 21 Days," I accidentally created a rogue applet which enabled a virus developed in Bulgaria to enter my system. From there, it infected several other computer systems, including a Sony PlayStation, a Foonley, and several Exidy Sorcerers. Service to Northern California is only now being restored.
Theory 2:
The Men in Black finally had enough, especially of my theft of their domain name (Blacknet). At 9:09 a.m., PDT, Clinton's black helicopter detoured on its route and landed on my hill, abducting me for medical experiments I am too embarrassed to describe (except that Chelsea was also involved). I am back now, albeit subtly changed (for the better).
Theory 3:
My ISP, got.net, had a router failure on its "ZNEt" link to the outside world.
Take your pick. Or maybe we should vote? The social construction of reality, and all.
Alas, sometimes the truth is too banal.
It's a clever piece of misdirection, "Tim", but it just won't work. You know as well as I that that was no router failure at all, but an unavoidable side-effect of putting the man-in-the-middle connection that directs all electronic communications to or from the real Tim May through the Blue Cube at Onizuka Air Force Base. Poor Tim - getting a sanitized, innocuous Internet feed. Possibly none the wiser for it. I bet you're having fun, whoever you are, with the chance to make a monkey out of Tim. But we're on to you, and it's only a matter of time before Tim is, too. - -- Alan Bostick | They say in online country there is no middle way mailto:abostick@netcom.com | You'll either be a Usenet man or a thug for the CDA news:alt.grelb | Simon Spero (after Tom Glazer) http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~abostick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQB1AwUBMX5/neVevBgtmhnpAQE8cAMAutAs59yLLJDj7Z7FDc4j2kZzky5GgmdV 0A2m+FTyhSgdj5ZydHqh4Dp2JteMBOibjIT5LJbOKRF4QAGneHJcLPKp84CNST5m ucVuHpa5Wq22jGul4rUYoAIoeLqhu0LN =HWUG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
