After my unfortunate adventures with the bandwidth limitations of my Internet connection, I decided to search the Web for some sort of utility that would help me monitor and hopefully limit my downloads and uploads.

While I didn’t find anything that would actually limit my downloads and uploads (no utilities that would temporarily disable my Internet connection if I got close to my limits), I did find a really nice utility for monitoring my connection.

I am happy to announce that I am finally back from the dead.  My Internet connection at home was restored sometime on Friday.

It has been hell this past month now being able to get on the Internet from home.  On the plus side, I have spent more time playing Wii over the last month than I probably have over the last year.  On the negative side, I haven’t really been able to blog very much, and I haven’t been able to do any Web development from home.  A few simple bugs in the private developers’ release of my CMS application went unresolved for an entire month because I wasn’t able to work on it.

The good news about that, however, is that I was able to get the bugs fixed, and add a few more features within a few hours of getting my connection back yesterday.
