New Wireless

So ya'll know I'm house-sitting for 6 weeks or so, and that there's a cat and some plumbing issues and some retro tiles and a great view - what I've not mentioned is the internet connection. I can't really complain too much as truth be told, I'm happier here than I've been in a long time - but I like to spend time online and am used to wireless. So first thing I did upon arrival was to hook up my router. But it didn't work - my theory is that the connection is so slow that the router itself just gave up the ghost.

After a day of sitting upright at a desk and tethered to a modem, it was time to get creative and make my own not-wireless connection so that I could at least recline on the couch. Thanks to a guy at work, I now have a 40' long chunk of ethernet cable and can more-or-less move around. It may also prove useful for the day that the cat becomes a pinata. Just kidding!! Really! That would never happen!
