Living off-the-grid
Well not quite off-the-grid, but all of Armenia was without internet for most of the weekend. From 2pm on Friday when it disappeared, to basically Monday morning. It started to come back on Sunday afternoon, meaning you could sloooooowly connect to certain pages, download a couple of emails, but it was really not worth the effort.
The weekend was a scorcher... you just had to get out of town (which is what most ppl did), or stay out from under the sun - which is what I tried to do. Saturday the city was overrun by the scouts, they were everywhere!
The other bloggers have been quiet for a while now... maybe they'll have a reason to blog tomorrow? ;-)

Prompts me to wonder that there must be a "single point of failure" where the whole country depends on a particular device or connection to the world. Could that be, you think? The entire country?
Let's just hope the new owners of Armentel won't be letting stuff like this happen, over and over again.
I've been trying to open one page for 12 minutes now.
It's the one line that comes through Georgia into Armenia. It's been damaged three times this year already. ArmenTel could at least allow ISPs and others to set up satellite connections.
