The landlord at my place in SF has instituted a lease and come up with a list of new rules. Rule number one is the best one.
Just to be obnoxious, I affixed the list of rules to the back of the door. Click for the legible version.

Two weekends ago, I went skiing with the offspring. I followed O2 down with my camera. Here is part of our run. The curmudgeonly O1 makes a cameo, as well.
The video ends abruptly when my battery dies.

It took forever to get DSL in my Zeitgeist room. At times over the past year and a half, I have considered that my room may be electronically jinxed (for example, cell phones do not ring in my room) and that broadband access may just not be possible. I have tried numerous ways to get service; nothing worked. I finally made an appointment with some idiot telephone company to bring DSL into my room.
I won’t bore you with the complete blow-by-blow of the install process. Some highlights include;
- Telco showing up four days early for the install (I was at lunch with the boys in Hanover, NH, when they called to get into my SF place)
- Telco failing to show up or call during the four-hour window on the real, actual scheduled date
- Telco failing to show up of call during the four-hour window on the rescheduled date
- Approximately five hours of telephone time with thirty or so people in several departments to get things schedued, rescheduled, properly mailed, properly acknowledged
- Telco showing up two hours early for the second rescheduled appointment (I was at work; thankfully they were willing to wait ’til I could get home)
- The workmanship on the install was so-so
On the plus side, the tech, when he arrived, did get the circuit up and running.
So, now I have broadband. Now I’m waiting for the router to catch on file.
