Massive network fail

Verizon has hardware problems right now affecting a very small number of people – meaning us – and it’s still not fixed going into the weekend. And it’s gotten much worse over the last hour! It’s fuckin’ awesome! So if you’re trying to reach me, it’s probably smart to forget email until Monday. (It’ll get queued up; there’s just no telling when it’ll get delivered.) If you’re trying to listen to songs on the band website and manage to catch us in a moment of connectivity, go to the bandcamp site (http://crimeandtheforcesofevil.bandcamp.com) and play stuff there. Sorry, there’s nothing I can do about it, it’s all in Verizon’s hands, they have bad hardware at some sort of substation and it’s just getting worse.

Network fail en masse

Verizon has hardware problems on our network pipe and has managed to avoid fixing it since Tuesday, and now it's the weekend and it's deteriourated very badly - we're effectively offline now. (7% packet throughput with periods of zero connectivity lasting 3-15 minutes is effectively down.) So assume I won't see email until at least Monday.
