Random datapoint: I was just sitting here, reading feeds, thinking "hmm, some of the images seem to be borked, oh well, next feed. Hmm, Mail refuses to connect to .Mac. Oh well, next article". It didn't dawn on me for a good few minutes that I wasn't even connected to the internet; we'd just had to turn the power off and the router does not automatically come on.
I'm not sure what to draw from this in particular. That I have far too many unread articles?
