This section took quite a while to complete, but not because of the difficulty, but because I am in the middle of moving to a new state. The move coupled with a different work schedule has left me little time, but things should improve.
I finally have internet access at the new apartment, which was nothing short of a miracle. The guy they sent out to do the install couldn’t figure out how to determine the ip address of my computer, so I had to help him. He had zero luck getting the modem to lock up. In the end he left, and after he did I went to the cable box outside the apartment, removed the trap he put on to filter out all the TV channels (I didn’t order cable TV stations) and the voila it worked. After that I got a cheap Belkin WAP and I was ready to roll. Last night was the first rack time I scheduled in the past week, but by the time I got home, ate and prepped for the session I was beat. About the time I logged in, the Z monster attacked and I was out. I have been getting up about 4:30am and it’s a little bit of an adjustment. Last weekend I was pretty useless due to the sleep deficit I was running during the week and it finally caught up to me. This week shouldn’t be as bad since I got 2 nights of decent (5+ hours) sleep.
I’m sitting on the floor right now because I have no furniture, which gets a little old when trying to do rack time. Next week I should have something to sit on, thereby increasing my productivity 10x. At least that’s how I hope it goes. Now on to OSPF.
