The Code Monkey s friends were away on vacation. Panic stricken, desperate and Internet-challenged, the Code Monkey dialed another provider only to be told that it would take between 504 and 840 hours to hook up a new line. Many thoughts passed through the Code Monkey s net-deprived and shrinking brain. It would take more than a week for the answers to emerge and almost a month before a new service was provided this time by Earthlink. However, in that time the Code Monkey was left to patrol the bicycle lane of the information super highway with an old 36,000-baud modem.
Life can sometimes be very cruel to a code monkey.
