The Long Version!

For those of you who are not following my twitter posts (look me up via my g-mail address sdjernes@gmail.com Also for those of you who want a longer version of whats been going on.

Structure and display of this will not be right.

Weekend of the 1st.

Got all the stuff over here and in some assembled of order. Gave Jeff the keys back on Saturday as in Plan D (A, B, C, were just screwed). Was low on money after everything so skipped getting medications. That week went down hill, and is not appropriate for this blog.

Things Accomplished week of June 1st
  • Cable hooked up to basement, modem online and router found and added. (DD-WRT v24 on WRT54Gv4) QOS sucks and it seems not to properly limit the torrent clients speed.
  • Started setting up desk. Laptop still on WiFi because of no cable to room from basement router.
  • Started to evaluate wiring situation. Not Good
  • Kitchen is starting to get in order.
  • Got pist at vertical duct that is suppose to go straight down to basement, It don't go straight. Some kind of odd bend or something. Have to find plan C on all the wire.
  • Had Cox come back out and put a cable into the 2nd floor sun room, where the only real TV is. Have to get the PVR up so I can watch via PC.
Week of June 8th
  • Got into see doctor, medication is straighten up. We think!
  • Used some geek ingenuity to get CATV and Ethernet into my bedroom. Removed a non functioning heating duct cover and the associated pipe. Got some smooth edges on the space and down the hole the cables went. Through some holes in walls, over the ceiling and at the router we ended up.
  • Setup second AP / switch (DD-WRT v24 on WRT54Gv2). Now Andy and Karri have a good signal upstairs and mine does not fluctuate as much. Want to actually mount this in the attic.
  • Got a bunch of the old wire tore down from the basement on the circuit that ran my Bedroom/Office North wall. Still wondering how the fridge and toaster oven are on the same circuit as the bedroom. Have not found that wire yet.
Week of June 15th
  • Office is no longer on the circuit called "North Basement" it has it's own 20amp feed. Now I can install the APC SmartUPS 1400 up here as my battery backup. This little BackUPS 650 from 8 years ago just doesn't cut it for in here. Works great for the stereo as a line filter.
  • Basement door lock changed. Old one mostly rust and corrosion.

More to come just have to go do some work before we leave to go run arrons.
