I decided to pootle about the house today and do what I wanted. Essentially, I had friday off. Well, apart from some telephone calls and emails. Went up to the shed after lunch and grabbed the butterfly solar lights and set about wiring them up and getting them ready. Went down to Mel’s place and […]

A job this morning that came in by phone to sort out some DNS issues and I made the executive decision to change hosting-providers as the current ones aren’t up to scratch. Then duplicating records and sorting everything out. Lunch, shed time and then uploading all the RR’s that were lacking during my disconnection-period. Out […]

A much better day today! I’m finally connected again! Hooray!! The nice man came this morning and fixed it all up. Lines are clear, speed is good. I’m a happy boy. Went out to do all the things I had planned for the morning and got back home to discover an email about an item […]

Brassed right off this evening. They (General Disaster and his good friend Lieutenant Cockup) came to replace the phone line section in the street. Enough said. Now I don’t have ANY phone lines or internet and one of my lines is at another house.

Monday came and went and I still have no phone line or internet. I’ve been going out to jobs that would normally be remote work but that’s ok. Keeps me busy! To the post office to pick up one of my new network switches and had fun configuring that and running cables etc…

Not a lot happing this weekend. Yesterday was cold, windy and miserable, so I lit the fire and sat up the back watching shows form the media center in the afternoon after tidying up a bit. Then did some washing today and general faffing about, also cleaned up some leaves, rose-prunings and mended the side […]

A few things in and out today and then about 4pm, disaster struck in the form of wind tearing out a phone connection on a pole. I lost my main number and my internet. Fortunately, I still had the fax line to use as a backup phone but it will be a while before my […]

I’ve been out and about today. Appointment this morning and then into Westfield to replace my mobile phone holder. Stopped in at Apple and made a purchase which doesn’t’ suit my needs, so it will be going back or Matthew might like to do some work for me to earn them. Tinkering with electronics and […]

A tidy-up at home this morning. It needed doing but Mel was coming to organise photos for Steph’s 21st in a couple of months. We collaborated and both have plenty of shots of her. I’ve known these kids for ages! She left and I went to a job and then to Jaycar for a few […]

A job with a nice customer this morning. We get on well. All done and they are happy. Then home for lunch and remote work on a job that was caused by scammers. Grr. I’m quite tired today!
