When I noticed that my last blog entry was almost one month ago I just had to write something, if for no other purpose than showing you all that I am still alive....

Reading Tom's Blog you have a clue already about my absence. Moving into a new house takes time, and even more so if this house is located in the Norwegian wilderness.

Well, this wilderness is actually 15 minutes away from the placed I lived before in Oslo. But here is my findings so far:

1) The location of the house is in the shadow of everything transmitted in the air (or so it seems). I was going to get my TV signals from the new digital TV network that is transmitted in the air. But, no, no. Not coverage at the location of the house. Got to order a satelite dish and subscribe to a satelite provider. So today I will try to install the 3 meter long steel pole to the outer wall of the house to get the dish high enough to get good signals. This means climbing a ladder, something usually done by my stunt-double. So if anything happens, my will is like this: Tom will receive my swyx-forum account and the rest goes to my familiy.

2) No cable for telephone lines and a pretty overbooked CO in the Telco network. I got the letter yesterday. They cancelled my order  for an ADSL subscription. Reason; not enough capacity in the network. My bet is that they do not want to install new cabling until spring when it is possible to dig in the earth again. At the moment my HTC TyTN will stay connected 24/7 to my PC as a 3G modem. (Yes, there is actually UMTS coverage here)

But after all, the bath tub arrived some days ago so for the new year:

Less Internet and more baths....... Happy weekend everybody.
