mousmeI am wire-free, baby!
After a couple of hiccups, I have managed to install a wireless router in my home. I have a network, and a password, and everything is happy!
I also got myself a Panasonic phone with two handsets, so that now I can answer the phone anywhere in the apartment instead of making a mad dash for the phone. It's very exciting. The phones are charging now, but by tomorrow I will be fully part of the communicating world.
Today was spent running around some more. I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of karmic revenge for all the time I spent shut in my apartment for the past eight months or so. I have spent more time out running errands in the past week than I have in the last six months combined, I think.
The appliances are arriving tomorrow, which is cause for much rejoicing. They are coming between 07:00 and 17:00 ("Sometimes it runs later than that!" the girl behind the desk told me blithely), so I am stuck at home all day. That will give me time, I hope, to do a lot of installation work. I have a new padlock to put on the shed door in the garden. I have some towel racks to hang, and all my new Billy bookcases and my new CD rack to set up.
Oh, and maybe I should unpack some more. Yeah. :P

MousGeek!
Date: 2008-09-05 12:00 am (UTC)After years of proudly doing my own wiring, Savant and I moved in together and now I am clueless as to how our setup actually works. The router is out in the garage; I know that much.
Good for you! Yay Phnee! Hey, you know my email is at verizon dot net - you should shoot me your new address.
IF your wireless phone is 2.4 ghz...
Date: 2008-09-05 04:31 pm (UTC)You are going to have interference with your router... which MOST likely is 802.11 B or G and use the 2.4 ghz band as well...
i ended up having to buy a 5.3 ghz phone to keep my wireless functioning...
the symptoms are every time the phone rings, you lose internet connections...
BTW I am an internet.Network.wireless guru...
