Finally!

Houston, we have lift-off.

At long last Streamyx is up and running. However, the smarter other half went and got a funky wireless router which is proving more than difficult. It can ping but just won't connect to the PC, Therefore, we can go online. But we can't connect to the line via wireless, so whoever wants to download or surf will have to do so within the cozy confines of the study, amidst the unopened boxes stashed in one side of the room.

Plus, smart me that I am, overlooked the fact that the phone line is in the living room but the PC is in the study. When the Telekom contractor was by about a month ago, I didn't think of getting him to connect an extension in the study. So we have a cable running all the way from the wall behind the TV across the carpet, past the dining room, into the halllway and into the study.

Talk about a mess.

The better half thought the router would solve that problematic mess, but looks like he got himself into more of a mess with said router.

Men! Why can't they check with reliable sources before going ahead to part with their hard earned cash? It's what I would do. It's only logical.

Oh well, if he can live with the mess, I suppose so can I. For the moment anyway.

At least we're finally wired.
