Lightning sucks!

Yay - DSL is back up! And they replaced the modem, apparently for free. (who knows what mysterious charges will appear on the next bill, but fuck it, gotta have it.)

Now, I gotta get a new answering machine, a new phone, and, goddammit, probably a new DVR - unless maybe the DVR magically works after getting the phone line coming from the pole to the box on the house replaced.

I should be so lucky.

based on my research after this strike, a good UPS is the best way to protect against most surges - but I'm sure as fuck going to unplug the damn phone lines the next time lightning heads for the house.
