Just an update on our internet…

We are now at 11 days and counting with unreliable (at best) internet, which is usually completely unavailable. Now, you might say that I am whining, or complaining by posting such a count… or, perhaps if you have spoken with me over those past 11 days, but I was thinking of it like this:

If I was a truck driver, hauling cargo across the country on a tight schedule, it might be like having to do that on my bike. Or, if I was lucky, I could borrow my neighbor’s pick up truck. I would have to transfer all the cargo over to the new mode of transportation, and do the best I could in that new vehicle.

So far, that’s not all that good.

So, they admitted today that the problem is in the main lines on the street… finally said that it’s nothing to do with our house. (The first guy who came out yelled at me because of the way I had set up something on the outside of the house, which he then switched to the “right” way, which the guy today switched back because it was set up wrong… go figure..) 🙂

Eventually, they may have this back up and running. For now, I am a beggar, going from house to house, and office to office in search of a wireless high speed connection to do my work from my handy PowerBook G4 laptop. It works, just not quite as well as my very own, comfortable, office.

I will keep you updated on our progress.
