Packet Loss

My weekend was spent laying around the house watching movies, watching Abby cook soup (Amazing Soup - Potato Soup and Chicken Noodle Soup), and fighting a battle with Packet Loss.

I've been noticing a major slowdown on my webserver for about a week, but I just thought my hosting company was stiffing me on my bandwidth limits, and only giving me a part of it. Friday night I figured out it was packet loss.

In the words of Tiffany when I told her what the problem was when she emailed me about how slow her pictures were and if it was her fault for having too many pictures: "that reminded me of Charlie Browns teacher...whaa whoo wwhaa whoo not your fault whoo whaa whoo waah.. "

Weekend Statistics
Movies Watched: 6 (First Daughter, Pieces of April, Mr. 3000, Changing Lanes, Laws of Attraction, The Forgotten)
Bowls of Soup eaten: 10-15
Batches of Soup cooked: 3 (2 Potato, 1 Chicken Noodle)
Tires Changed: 0 (Abby's car has had a flat for like 4 weeks now)
Dogs Fed other than Eddie: 1 (Aunt Janet was out of town Saturday, had to feed Bill)
Times I Pinged my Server: Somewhere in the millions (Tracking Packet Loss)
Boxes of Campfire Girl Candy Bought: 1
