Computer Fun (Doofus II)
Today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rumfuddle came around to the Athenaeum Club to grant us - or rather Yours Truly - the benefit of his technical wisdom in setting routers to handle bit torrents at faster speeds than I have heretofore been able to manage.
One cup of tea and two hours later, to his protestations of "I didn't do anything!" we were short of one internet connection.
A further cup of tea and another hour later, in which he reset all things he hadn't done in the first place (!), the internet connection was suitably restored. And the bit torrents were downloading at over 100kps!
Fantastic!
So all's well that ends well. But for that short period of time, I swear that it was possible to hear the blood draining out ofrumfuddle's head as the terror mounted and systems froze.
Can you say, "Doofus", children?
We can.
