Identify? That doesn't identify anything.

From Cheyenne's KWGN. A "network element" that's "impacting" something.

Eegads. How about CenturyLink issues babble after over a day of disruption to no service.

CenturyLink identifies issue that caused nationwide outage

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (KGWN) - A Nationwide outage reaching from New York to California has been causing headaches since early Thursday morning. The outage didn't spare Cheyenne, where customers lost internet and phone service. Some reports told of people unable to get gas as card readers shut down at some gas stations, and others of ATM's glitching.

CenturyLink posted several times via Facebook that it was working to solve the issue. Finally, late Thursday night, the company said its engineers had identified "a network element that was impacting customer services..." and was working to restore service.

CenturyLink expects the service to be restored within hours.

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
