We've moved
Hey guys, I'm finally in our new house! It's excellent, I wish I had a digital camera to show you. Anyway, it's air-conditioned in every room (important in Cairns), great yard, really nice lighting in all of the rooms, nice floors, double garage (with remote controled openning), deep swimming pool, quiet suburb but close to the city, reasonably good drive between here and work (long way, but traffic flows well).
We've hardly un-packed anything so far, there's a big pile of boxes in the lounge room, and an even bigger pile in the garage. But it's getting smaller slowly, one break from work at a time.
Internet access is a bit of a problem, so I'm writting this into jNotes for now, later I'll go online and post it. We're stuck with dial up for at least a week while we wait for ADSL to be connected. The main problem with that we get a lot of phone calls, and can't really afford to block it any more than necessary.
I half set-up our network this morning before going to work. Didn't have much choice for the Airport Base Station's location, as there's only three phone outlets in this house: office; living room; and main bedroom. Both the office and the main bedroom wouldn't provide wireless access to the whole house, so I chose the living room. I wasn't very happy with this at first, since it meant having a power lead running allong one of the walls of the living room, but then I saw the people who lived here before had drilled a hole in the wall (probably for an ethernet cable) right next to the phone outlet. The other side of that wall is just going to be used as a bedroom for visitors, so I ran the extension lead through the hole (had to remove the plug from the lead, pretty small whole). Nothing too difficult, but after a whole day of packing, shifting, cleaning and driving I enjoyed every second of it.
Lita, Shane and the girls also visited today, the girls were just as actian filled as usual, and I'm glad they weren't here too long, I need rest for work tomorrow! They'll be coming again next weekend, but for two days instead of a few hours.
