So ever since I moved into the man-room / office at our new house, I have had fair to serious trouble with teh internets. We had wireless and no matter what we've done, the signal in my office is weak as I am or cuts out altogether, which is uber-irritating when you're writing a blog or downloading work to do at home or playing online poker or looking at porn.

Wait. Scratch that last one. Who does that anyway? That's so 2002.

Anyway, I've been at my wit's end and have been considering having an electrician or my brother-in-law run an ethernet cable from the office downstairs to my office upstairs.

But just to be safe I started sniffing around asking questions on messageboards to see if anyone had any other ideas.

And that's where one of my Stalker friends BillP sent me a message saying how happy he'd been with THIS device:


See, you run a cable from your current router into this, plug it into a regular power outlet, then plug the receiver into an outlet where you want network connectivity, and that's it. Instant network connectivity thru your home's electrical system.

I'll report back tonight on how it worked, but if it's like they say, this is one of the greatest inventions in networking history.

And to think, I'm a network admin and had never heard of such a thing.

(me = dumbass).

Have a great Monday everybody.
