God hates me (or wants me to stop playing computer games)

[terrycloth]

Since nothing in particular was up at work, I decided to take a few days off to bum around the house and rest... and, yes, play city of heroes... or, more to the point, have enough time to both play city of heroes *and* take care of other stuff, like setting up the new computer for real. But mostly play city of heroes.

Except that the day after I did that, they installed a new server patch that makes it so that I can't connect, and neither can lots of other people. Except that they all seem to have remedies (run ipconfig /flushdns, then reboot!) that don't seem to work for me at all.

Yesterday, I was able to get on after about an hour of trying over and over again... but today that didn't work. Argh!

I have lots of other things I could do instead, but I don't *want* to do any of them.
