Blush
Another reason it took me so long to put up a blog is that I knew it would highlight the amount of time between inspirations (or whatever it is that results in the next blog entry).
In the absence of proper inspiration, I guess we'll designate this a slog entry...
I just went back and looked at that pinger script. It's been running for a month, and the results are mildly interesting (to me anyway). We haven't experienced any major network outage from our provider during that time. The most siginificant outage happened one Friday evening for nearly three minutes. Definitely long enough to generate a support call or three.

And a few times a week, we see smaller, variously scattered clusters of timeouts. May result from denial of service activity on our side, or routing instability on their side. I think their side, since I'm able to get to my device just fine from my side. Sometime,I'll see if I can reduce this info down to a few digestible statistics.
