As you know if you're a regular reader, wind plays an important role in my life. It kicks up the seas so I get seasick. It messes with the satellite internet so I can't check email. Or make phone calls. Or upload photos. Here is the error message I've been getting when it's blowing more than 20 (which has been most of the week):
Web Acceleration Client Error (506) - Suspected Recent Satellite Link Outage
The satellite link was operating properly up until the most recent web page request, but the last request could not be successfully sent across the satellite link to the Web Acceleration Server. Possible causes for this include recent changes in weather conditions or equipment problems in the Network Operations Center. Trying again at a later time may result in restored service due to either improvements in the weather conditions causing the service outage or rectification of a network problem in the Network Operations Center. If this problem persists, please contact your service provider for additional assistance.

Question to Robin - what is the *exact* mechanism of failure here? Antenna being knocked out line? Or signal variance from antenna moving? Micro changes in air density? (SPOT THAT REFERENCE) There has to be some way to avoid that. Bigger dish? More sushi? If anyone would know, I suspect it's you. Karen, get him on the job, he'll fix it. I say run undersea cable with your own submersible fleet to guard it. :->
