I may be a little less regular than usual My computer seems to have developed a glitch - not recognising the wireless modem for more than 10 minutes at a time I'm going to try to fix it this evening, but I'm just as likely to break it altogether

Try prunes - they should help you get a bit more regular.

I have rigged up the wirey broadband until I can figure out what the hell has happened with my wireless.
So I can get online again However, I now have a wire from the puter to the modem, then two from the modem - one to the electrics and one to the phone socket. They radiate out in mid-air from the centre of the room (the modem's perched on the end of the sofa) This is all due to the stupid layout of sockets, phone and table in this shoebox

I have a celebratory custard tart here.
(And a bottle of Bacardi, but it's the custard tart that matters.)

Your internet stuff sounds too complicated for me. Hope you get it sorted soon.
Take care,

Morning Websailor
It's too complicated for me too and the sensible side of my head is winning the argument: get a computer person in to fix it properly, rather than me messing about and run the risk of ing it up entirely.
It's times like this when I realise the importance of my internet connection. It's my main link to the world and most of my friends and rellies... particularly while I'm settling into a new country.
So when I get a cosy country pad (in the next two or three weeks all being well) I'll definitely get somebody to come in and sort out the internet stuff for me right from the word go. In the meantime I'll survive with the wires.

Frenchbean,
I do understand your need for the Internet. I would be devastated to lose mine. Being at home so much it gives me a much needed outlet and lots of people to chat to which is nice.
I do hope you find a country 'pad' that suits you soon. I sounds as easy to get accommodation in NZ as it was in Oz. Pity it is not the same here!
Sound idea to get your Internet done by an expert then you have someone to blame if it goes wrong
Take care,
Websailor
