So I was having a nice day today until about 2pm when for some reason I lost my internet connection, being the calm person I am I proceeded to throw the nearest thing across the room (TV remote) before fixing into some troubleshooting.

Shadowhound vs Computer

Round one:
Shadowhound manages to get behind the computer and check to make sure everything in plugged in, everything is, Shadowhound curses.

Round 2:
I run some scans to check for any viruses, none found but did kill a lot of spywear, so not a total waste.

Round 3:
I decide it must be a problem with my ISP and decide to pass time by playing Vampire: Bloodlines, several hours well spent.

Round 4: Get very very annoyed by all the bugs and throw object 2 (DVD remote), before deciding to download patch... and then hitting myself for being a moron

Round 5: Recheck connection properties, computer, sanity. Notice there is no power light on my hub... have a very sinking feeling.

Round 6: Plug hub back into power socket... must have kicked it out earlier.

Today has not been my brightest day lol, anyone have any similiar moments of stupidity?
