The interweb is broken

The network here has been banjaxed recently,they are doing some work with a new firewall. I don't understand what, but something is up with the DNS because we can access servers by IP but not by web addresses. This morning we had no connection for the last hour and a half, that was frustrating.
I often read the side of vans in the morning coming in to work, and am constantly amazed that there are businesses devoted to such niche areas. I saw a classic this morning, a van drove past and the service they were advertising was 'Dust Mat Hire'...honestly someone has a company up and running which rents dust mats to companies for their doorways...phenomenal. Imagine going to the bank with that idea.

Believe it or not, that is not niche, but a big market. There are quite a few (big) companies that do that.

Don't ask how I know.
