Today was a pretty lazy day but I
maanged to be somewhat productive. It took me awhile but I
eventually got around to making a few discussion posts for class.
That leaves me with just one more chapter to read for this week.
I got on a forum and had a
discussion with a couple different people to figure out the pre-wired
internet situation of the new house. Turns out, it is pre-wired for
telephones, not the internet. That doesn't really make any sense to
me because it was sold as being for the internet. I learned on the
forum that we need a different block thing. The one now has all the
ethernet cables connected but that is the only option with the block.
The one we need has ethernet jacks next to the cables. That makes a
lot of sense but I don't get why the builder didn't have that put in
instead of the phone one. As long as all the wiring in the rooms was
done correctly, it shouldn't be too hard to rewire a new block. That
might be a weekend project sometime in the near future.
Speaking of the internet, I
connected our Dish to the wireless network. Now we will be able to
watch shows On-Demand. At the moment I am struggling to keep up with
the stuff I DVR, so I have no real interest in On-Demand at the
moment but I'm sure at some point it will be nice to have.
Tonight I played Tera
for the first time in awhile and it was a lot of fun. A lot of
running/riding around and killing things. At one point I
accidentally ended up kind of out of the map. I started going up a
hill, just to see how far it would let me go, and I managed to make
it quite a long way, almost to the top of the highest mountain. I
was tempted to keep going down the other side but my quest objective
was back where I came from so I turned around. On my way back down I
found a message board that was put there just for people who managed
to climb all the way up there. It allowed me 20 characters to write
a message for whoever comes after me. That was pretty cool.
Tomorrow I'm going to have lunch
with my brother and sister. My brother wanted to do it today but I
heard about it from my sister ten minutes before his lunch break and
there was no way I would have been able to get ready and across town
in time. Also, much like last time, I had just finished eating
lunch. So, tomorrow I will be ready to go and I won't have eaten. A
nice change.
