I have a paid livejournal now. I feel legit for some reason. I spent the day in San Antonio today, wiring up my mom's new house for Cat5. Now my brothers each have internet in their rooms. However, neither of their computers actually functioned, so next weekend I'll be looking into that problem.
Ricky's loads fine (win 2000), but it keeps telling me the network cable is not plugged in. I can ping the localhost, and all of the adapter card settings seem okay. I used my cable tester to verify that the cables I ran were good. I knew I should have brought down my laptop to test the lines. Ah well.
John's won't even boot. I brought it home to look at it this week.
As I was finishing up in the attic, I was under the shallow part of the roof and I stood up like the newbie jackass that I am, and put my lower back into a row of roofing nails. I have a triangle of red holes on the small of my back, that'll leave a mark. Ah well, I hope my brothers appreciate it. Chuck (step dad) kept thanking me the whole time I was there, and next weekend he offered to take me and Shaunna out to dinner as a small thanks.
