Yay DSL

I really need to update more than weekly at the moment, but it does have to be said that not much is happening outside the weekends :) This week went pretty much as usual, working 9-5 yada yada yada. Received phone call from demon, ADSL was enabled on the line on monday - yay. Went to the house on friday night to install the server, arrived very tired after a long drive and a long days work, only to walk towards the house to find James (who came down to give me a hand with the wiring etc) walking from the other direction at the exact same time, freaky.

Tested the ADSL modem with laptop, all worked perfectly straight away, connected at 576kbps - excellent. Then later on that evening attempted to get it all working on the server... after about 4 hours of obscure error messages and trying all sorts of different things, I realised I was specifying the wrong username - I'm going to blame the fact that I was very tired, but the entries in /var/log/messages were so verbose that nothing to do with authentication was actually mentioned! Shifted around some of the excess furnature on saturday night and getting a 3 seater sofa stuck in the doorway! On sunday morning, finished off the wiring up, tidied up a few things, then started my way back in the afternoon, the weather was good, and yet again, thought how I'm going to miss Wales, got stuck behind a massive convoy of caravans at one stage, and had plenty of time to admire the view!
