A momentous occasion: I'm going to disconnect the Internet while I move some shelves across the room

[NickFitz]

Internet moving completed

This also involved moving all other network-related stuff - Apple Extreme wifi router, networked drives, and so forth - across there, along with the standalone shelving unit on which they live. Untangling cables, coiling and cable-tying the extra-long coax attached to the Internet inlet, and so forth all turned out to be a bit more time-consuming than I'd anticipated.

But it's all done, the Internet still gets in, the disks still contain bits, and I have a nice bit of space by the door that I didn't previously have

And I no longer risk sending many terabytes flying by accidentally knocking against the shelves as I come in and out of the room, which has nearly happened several times

They've nicked your idea!

Ah, but theirs is oak, whereas mine is painted pine.

I'm sure we had to pay 3/6d or somesuch to actually buy it before bringing it home.

3/6d was the price of a paperback book at the time.

We'll keep our fingers & claws crossed that it'll come back on successfully.

There are few things worse than a bouncing terabyte.

Following the scrambled eggs for lunch, tea was kedgeree.

I went overboard on the chilli again, so the bogroll is in the fridge ready for tomorrow morning.

It was reasonably nice, though I should have boiled the eggs a bit longer.

I'm most impressed with the dye job I did on the towels this morning.

Oranges might not be the only fruit, but by damn, it does a good job on changing the colour of towelling.

I suspect the ZeitUnderpants have gone a fetching shade of bluish white from being washed with a pair of jeans.

In addition, I mowed the lawns again this afternoon while the washing machine was doing its thing.

By the end of it I was nearly on my knees and not in a good way.

The chap 3 doors down was up on the roof repointing his chimney pots from a roof ladder.

Rather him than me.
