Finally Broadbanded

Hey All,

After many shenanigans and some wailing and gnashing of teeth, I'm actually broadbanded at my flat again.

I got up bright and early today to get the router package. But when I unpacked it all, I accidently unplugged the router before it was finished loading updates (d'oh! I didn't mean to, I just thought the plug would be much more practical in a different spot than the one I had already chosen).

In any case, I finished setting up before the helpdesk got around to taking me off hold (I think I'll contact the ombudmen about seeing if I can have that part of my bill stricken from the record, since they were sod all help (it only would be about two pounds, but the principle matters)).

Then I had to figure out why the damn thing wasn't loading etc.

Finally I figured out that the Ethernet Cable wasn't plugged in.

And the rest is history.

Hooray.

Now all I have to do is make sure that I don't just become a hopeless addict of Wikipedia and Youtube.

Still, I really didn't feel like I had any other option besides getting wired up again.

Carrying files to and from the net cafe was getting to be irritating at best and infuriating and obstructive at worst (ie when the files would corrupt on the USB Keys).

Sick and Twisted Tonight, Slimelight tomorrow and volunteering on Monday followed by seeing the Fratellis with a friend.

Not bad, I reckons.

Over and out.
