Thank the gods - we finally have internet at home

Dark communications
After way too much futzing, and over an hour (cumulative) on hold with BT(!) I finally got the !$&*!* internet working here at the apartment. Grrrr…

Zen has been really cool, fast, and helpful. BT’s been a right pain in the butt, and has probably cost us a week. Then tonight, when the line was finally live, it turned out that our Jurassic wireless base station didn’t want to talk to our new ADSL modem. It was so incredibly frustrating to be so close (I could get on-line if I directly connected to the ADSL modem, but not the wireless), and being tired didn’t help. Eventually, though, I hacked a few of the settings and got the darn boxes to talk to each other.

So, I suspect you’ll hear a lot more from everyone now that we can surf at home. I’m sure WeatherGirl will be a lot happier now that she doesn’t have to walk into town to use Internet at the library :-).
