Great, now I can throw in a load and get a notice on my phone when it's done. This is awesome! (3 hours later) Wait, why can't I get to the internet? I call my ISP, they tell me that my connection is fine (it's tech support, they aren't security experts). But, I tell them, Google doesn't work for me. They do some tests, everything should work. I bitch, moan, cry a little, rage quite my ISP and sign up with someone new. It works for a few days until my washing machine (having been offline for a bit) gets exploited again.

I still don't have a clue as to why I'm being blocked from Google and company. Maybe they kick back a message as a 4xx (what would be appropriate?) that says my network has been hacked. But I've seen those sorts of things all the time in ads, I know that's just someone trying to scam me, convince me to run something that'll install a virus on my computer.

Must be my computer! Damn Dell piece of shit. I can't afford a new one. Maybe that neighbor kid can come over again and help me out with this.

($200 and several trips for the neighbor kid later it's still not solved)
