...and with a wave of my hand I said Let There Be Connectivity.... and there was connectivity.... and it is good....
Or something along those lines...
I have managed to get the phone lines all installed, and terminated today along with getting the phone company to turn on the service... (Thanks for doing a same day deal Verizon...)
Does this mean a return to regular blogging?... Its possible, if not assured... There have been an unending list of things I could have been typeing about since I moved here, but without the ability to strike when the iron was hot, they just never happened... DSL should go live in 10-15 days here, and assumeing that the gateway/switch I bought arrives before that, I'll have hard lines in all the rooms I've been working on, as well as a good wireless signal throughout the property... Why put in wire when I'm getting wireless?... Lets face it folks, wireless is nice, but it can be annoying... Copper is still more reliable, and usually faster... Besides, I put all the conduit in anyway for phone, so running eathernet in there too was a breeze, and it leaves me the ability to rip that out in the future when things go to fibre... (though by then the wireless should be pretty bulletproof...) ('course who knows what the next thing will be... I'm ready for almost any contingency here...)
At any rate, what it all boils down to is I'm back!...
And as soon as the DSL kicks in, I'm going to have to do a serious cleaning up around here... My links are a bloody mess... Geesh...
Great news! Good luck on the rest of the house, although it sounds like you've had your hands full, it also sounds like you're able to handle it.
True... Now if I was only able to pay for it all... This would be going much faster if the cost of everything didn't keep skyrocketing supposedly due to the oil and steel markets...
