I have to hand it to Alltel — the new DSL box came in today, the most optimistic end of the 3–5 days the support guy said it would take. The CD had been shoved into the box at an odd angle and came out warped, but it wasn’t difficult to locate the disk that came with the old DSL box and use that instead.
With the DSL working again, I quickly realized that the Airport hub had taken a hit in the Ethernet port as well. I had just enough time to get to Office Max before they closed and grabbed a D-Link router. It didn’t take long to set it up and get it talking to the DSL box, and it has a built-in 4-port Ethernet hub so I took the Netgear hub out.
Daughter Dearest is ecstatic, and I’m pretty happy too because I can work at home tomorrow.

I have comment moderation on for posts over a week old, but that’s so I’ll see them.

Hi FARfetched. Glad to hear about your move at work and that you're up and running at home.
ReplyDeleteYour new cube looks like the last one I worked in, with the exception that there were only four of us in one room.
This is one of those typical office spaces these days: huge open space filled up with a cube farm.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is the emptied-out cube where I used to site. No context, unfortunately, save for what I wrote. I'm happy to be out of it.
