Short notice, I know, but we're going to be resuming the weekly Phoenyx Chats starting tonight (Tuesday) at 8:30 pm CST. Tonight's topic will just be poking around in the new MOO core and discussing how we should "decorate" the place, what all the new toys do, and so on. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): The Whole Phoenyx Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

Right now, the chat is strategically placed at just after Nathan goes to bed, since the computers are still downstairs. Carl has likened our house rearrangement project to a sliding puzzle... we have to move this before we can move that, and so on. This is a flawed analogy... sliding puzzles have an empty square. Anyway, once we create an empty square, the computers are going upstairs. This is a nontrivial project, since they're still on coax... and still on some aging network cards that occasionally flake out, as evidenced by our early- morning outage yesterday (or was it Friday?) We theoretically have enough materiel to assemble a more modern network, but we have to get the time. We're resisting the temptation to just run some CAT-5 down the stairwell, because then it would become permanent. We moved in here almost eight years ago, and still have the main phone line coming up through the furnace' cold-air return... -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): The Whole Phoenyx Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

While the CAT-5 on the stairwell is not a good idea, the phone line in the cold-air return is a *very* good option and really *is* a permanent solution. So there. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Rumors of War / Science Fiction Category Editor Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

Not when the cold-air return vent is in the hallway and the phone is in the bedroom, though. The other phone line comes up with the plumbing under the kitchen sink, which isn't bad, except that that's the quarter of the house that's over the crawl space. That's where we're going to run the main cabling, I think. This is the crawl space that has the mysterious drain line from the kitchen sink, that broke somewhere underground (sufficiently, mysteriously deep that the plumber finally gave up and rerouted it) and leaked kitchen-sink-sewage into the ground until we finally located the source of the plague of fruit-flies and the weird smell (which, due to the proximity to the A/C intake, kept appearing in different places in the house) and called in a plumber. I suspect that if we excavated the crawl space and added it to the compost pile, we'd have a really good garden. In the meantime, I think it's important to get the work done before the weather warms up... -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): The Whole Phoenyx Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

That sounds bizarre to me, mostly because the biggest "under-house" wiring project I did was in my house back in El Cerrito. (That wasn't such a big deal; I just ran cat5 from my office to two rooms for the home network, and phone lines similarly.) There, though, the best time to do it is the summer, since in the SF Bay Area, winter = rainy season. In my current house in Nashville, I ran the one line that's there in the hot summer as well, but that was mostly because that was when we moved in. I don't have quite the network you guys do, though; this one line was just to get my wife's computer on the cable modem, and went from my office to hers. (We have a two bedrom, one "den" house, and no kids, so we each get our own study. This is the benefit of moving to a housing market where you can buy a house more than twice the size of the old one at a lower price than you sold the old one for.) For hooking my laptop in, I splurged on a couple of wireless cards, and saved myself networking three other rooms. -Rob -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/
