Okay, most of you probably know I went nuts last night trying to get my steam to work.
Basically it crashed then decided to not let me log back on/crash on "updating" etc. I totally reinstalled the WHOLE thing (including getting rid of reg values etc).
Then it worked. *Yay*
Then tonight at about 8pm when I came off TF2, extactly the same thing happened. This time I decided not to get mad or anything, and just played Empire At War for a bit. I've just turned on Steam again and it works fine >_<
So something must be wrong with my internet, or steam decides to randomly not contact me when I close TF2 or something at around 8pm

so note to self, DONT LEAVE THE GAME xD
