I will be offline from 12/8 thru 12/14. We are upgrading to new PCs and
are donating the old ones early. During that time we are having the house
wired with optical cable, as the cable used during construction was sub-

I cannot access Usenet from work, but if anyone wishes to email me,
replace

Thanks folks!

Fiber in a house? How interesting - when you say cable used during
construction are you referring to coaxial cable? I just did a job where
I used double shielded RG-6U and it worked just fine for HD television.

And I'll be unavailable from 12/19 to 12/26. Not that I'll be offline oh
no, just going to a place where there isn't a net connection. That's
going to be interesting.

I plan to bring plenty of reading material.

Yes, it was coax, and it was poor quality. I didn't select the cable
myself. If I had it would have saved me a lot of trouble and money.

The company running the fiber specializes in computer and digital A/V
installations, and has done work for the company I work for. We're running
extra lines through existing raceways and they recommended it for its
flexibility, as well as less susceptibility to deterioration where it will
be run in a crawspace under the house. Another advantage, assuming we live
here a very long time, it that it's unlikely we'll ever outpace the cabling
with advancements in hardware.

Since I'll be at home for the duration of my "blackout", I will hopefully
catch up on a lot of things I need to do around the house.

I take it you're going away for the holiday. Have a great one!

Very true. It also kind of goes along with the phrase, "Lack of planning
on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

Good luck making it through the week without usenet! 😉 I hope the upgrade
and re-wiring goes off without a hitch.

Well, yes, I can do Google Groups, but they're damnably inconvenient. I'll
probably do some looking there.

It's all I use nowadays as its the same usenet experience at home as
at work.
Once you change the view to "Topic List", then in a thread under
<Options> select "View as Tree" it all looks a bit more meaningful.
