My network

My comment on my new network (in my bedroom in the flat) generated more interest than I expected. Hence I decided to represent it in a diagram to try and make it clearer. A little crude but it gets the point across (doesn't it?).

My very own network

You could argue that I've paid £300 just so I can use the internet while I watch the TV. To a certain degree that's all it lets me do but there is also a whole new world opening up...

For somebody who hates using mobile phones you can guess that having all these nasty waves in my room as I sleep is worrying me. A little (re)search helped.

If you think I've finally crossed the road in to Nerdsville then have a look at this lot!

  1. Jason just to let you know that the first link on saturday's blog is to a router, not a modem/router. The image at the bottom of the page indicates that a DSL Modem is required. I think you may have wanted to link to this which is a DSL Modem/router.

    Jason? You mean me?

    You're right! That's the one I meant. off to correct the link now. Thanks Pedro (;o)

  2. Sorry Jake about the name mixup. In try to correct an error, I caused another error.

    Apologies mate.

  3. Being able to browse and work from the pleasant climes of the garden is a rare pleasure. I recommend you try it when the weather improves, Jake.

    If we had a garden I probably would ;o)

    The guys in the ground-floor flat have the sole claim to the garden. Gits!

    Suppose I could surf from the driveway...

    Jake,

    Not only have you "crossed the road in to Nerdsville", you have met a similarly nerdy woman, bought a nice house together, settled down and begun to think about breeding nerdy children.

    There are times when I wonder whether or not I've become a nerd. Thanks for being someone I can juxtapose myself with to feel less so.

    There are charities to support the needy, but who looks after the nerdy? Amazon.com, apparently!

    I'd class myself as a geek. Higher up the chain then a nerd. Mainly because I don't take work home with me, and I don't talk about computers when I go to the pub.. oh and I also snowboard... which counts for something right?

    Just wondered if you'd heard about WAR Chalking.

  5. No question, nerds snowboard.
