Daynotes gang4/30/2023 ![]() And I did.12 hours of sleep later, it was time to start again. By now it's nearly 8 on Saturday evening, and I've been going great blazes for about 8 straight days. It's probably the proprietary little 125 watt POS powersupply that HP puts in those micro-tower Pavillions - after a little while I notice that while the CPU fan starts to spin up, the PS fan does not. The lights flash, the CPU fan starts to spin, then everything dies. I plugged up Marcia's Pavillion - took about 10 minutes to route power and cables as before, then wahh-wahh-waaaaah. Too good to last, needed some karma balancing yet, you say? You're right of course. Grendel, Garcia and Gryphon came to life, on line and on time. I reset the Linksys Cable/DSL router to factory defaults, entered in all of the various addresses from our connection sheet, and everything just worked. plugged everything in to the right places, routed and cleaned up the wiring, turned everything on and Poof! up in a flash. I took my time, planned out where equipment would go, and where power needed to be for things. Anyway, once I had that straightened out, all the phones rang to the right numbers, when plugged into the proper jacks. BAH BAH BAH !!! Sorry for that outbreak of gibsonitis. When they connected up our second line, they moved the first line. Double-mmmmm.Ĭheck the formerly "dark" third line - tone! #%^&'ing phone company. OK, Second line (where the data line is connected). So I started futzing around, checking for tone at the demarcation point where the three lines come off the pole. I probably attached something incorrectly. What? They turned on the main voice line, and cut off the data line? WTF? Mmmm. Nothing there? I had our fax line attached to that outlet. Well, all except the original and only existing jack in the house, in the kitchen. Terminated the wires, and all of the top RJ11 jacks were live. So, using a test jack, I identified which of the two remaining inbound lines had our main voice number attached. LOTSASTUFF (tm)!Ĭome Saturday evening, I went to go move some of the terminations about, and light up the whole house with voice and data. I ignored that for a time, and we simply moved stuff. On Friday last (the 10th), I cancelled our DSL service as provided by Speakeasy and Covad, and PBI moved our main voice line over to the house. That line was in place when I grubbed around under the apartment a week or so ago. That left us without easy fax capability from the apartment, but gave us our first connectivity here at the house. We cut over the data phone line on the first. What's first on the list? OK, how about phone service. Later.Ģ0:34 - I know, but it is later, and on the same day, even. I've been fighting with a DNS problem all morning, and it's eaten what little time I have right now. I choose peace, and hope that they can, too. These countries are sending their children to kill each other, and their leaders exhort us to choose sides. ![]() I have a few WTF moments to relate, which I'll get to later, but first.ĭo us all a favor and think good thoughts, or pray, or whatever other method floats your boat, regarding this sad situation in the Middle East. ![]() Link to Most Recent Week Well, the good news is that the move has, so far, gone off without a hitch, relatively speaking.
