Garoo

After a few days using Fxxxx’s fast connection with my slow Mac mini, I have trouble adjusting to the slow connection on my fast iMac — seeing Safari lag in the back I always have a little apprehension before pressing Ctrl to trigger Quicksilver.

Anyway, the water’s fine now (the electrician removed a circuit from the fuse box, that’s not particularly reassuring but we all know that’s the way technology works) and the phone’s there (my connection is slow, but I hope it’s due to my ISP’s dialup network rather than my brand new phone line itself, or I’ll be crying when it comes to setting up my DSL); I’m beginning to feel at home, only missing some furniture now.

Oh, and there was a hole, and a remnant of cable in it, above my door. Which means those sadists removed the whole phone setup when they renovated the apartment, and nevermind that it’s costing me an additional fifty euros to get the line back. (Which isn’t that bad, compared to failing to electrify me to death.)
