What Are You Doing When Your Internet Connection Is Down?

After posting the first article about Tourist Remover my Internet connection died suddenly and I knew that it was a problem at the Internet Provider because the phone was not working as well. Since I use the same provider for phone and Internet that was a sure bet. I called anyway just to make sure and they said that there were problems in my region and that it could take a few hours before they were solved.

I was left with no choice but to wait until my Internet connection would be working again. This was an awkward situation for me because it disturbed my usual work flow which sees me working in the morning, getting out some posts, checking stats and creating new content for other sites that I own. All of this was delayed.

What could I do in the time that my Internet connection was down? I decided to run scan disk on all of my hard drives and Smart Defrag afterwards to optimize them. This are tasks that do not require my attention and I went to town earlier than I wanted to grab two Japanese learning books that I ordered and bring in my Nokie N73 cellphone which stopped working suddenly.

But the real question that would interest me is this: What are you doing if your Internet connection is down? Are you doing something else? I suppose that only a few of you are making their money working on the Internet which might mean that it is not tragic if you cannot connect to the Internet for a few hours.
