Panic in the... oh, wait, I can't read.

[bouteillebleu]

I had a minor panic this morning as I checked the college's bandwidth charts and discovered I'd apparently used 6 gigabytes of external traffic. Now, I could understand downloading 2 gigabytes (I'm usually downloading rather large video files, for the musicals I haven't got good versions of yet), but 4 gigabytes upload? I'm sure I'd remember that sort of traffic, but I had no idea what it could be.

Lots of panic followed, stopping downloads, checking what was running on my computer, trying to figure out what to say to our computing service to explain why it looked like I'd done twice the daily allowance, but I couldn't have...

...and then one of the people I was panicking at about this wondered if I'd misread the IP listed. And I checked. And I had. I was actually nestled in 14th place on the chart, with a total bandwidth use of under 400 MB for the day.

So, whoever you are who has an IP that's one digit off mine in one of the places, I wish you best of luck with the CS. And thanks for inadvertantly making me panic and wake up properly on a lazy weekend morning. Did me good. :)

And incidentally, FinNoWriMo has produced results... just not a finished story. Yet. I'm about halfway through the next scene, so I'll put that up here and on the website when it's done. Also, aqouli, thanks for the note about the mistakes in the last chapter - I checked through it, and there were two or three that were quite embarrassingly obvious. I'll correct them the next time I upload.

I make far more embarrassing ones as I write myself, and far more often too, so it's nothing to worry over. Just making note that they were there. It's really hard to be a proofreader/editor/writer all in one, after all.

Hoping to hear more of that story from ya!
