Baby Steps

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

It’s the middle of January and the new baby will be here around the end of April. That basically gives us around two more months to turn the computer room back into a bedroom.

I’ve completed two steps off my checklist so far. I moved the phone line with the DSL signal into the basement along with the router, so now I will be able to run cat5 to the kitchen where the Wife’s computer will be.

The other thing I did was to buy a decent laptop off of Craigslist to replace my desktop PC. That way I won’t need a desk taking up space.

I think I’m going to try and move her desk and computer sometime this week, or maybe this weekend while she is out of town and I won’t be as pressured to get it done right away so she can use it.

Winter Doldrums

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

I’m still alive and kicking, it’s just hard during the winter months to motivate myself to write anything (or do much of anything). At least we’ve passed the Winter Solstice and on the home stretch with more daylight every day!

Gavin is doing great as always, and the wife is doing great with her pregnancy. We should be expecting HIM around the end of April.

Having a new child here in 4 months hasn’t sunk in yet, especially since we haven’t done ANYTHING to prepare! His bedroom is an “office/computer networking center” right now and everything in it has to go somewhere else in the house. The problem is that I also need to move other things in order to make room for this stuff. It’s a house sized game of a sliding number puzzle.

I’ve started moving things around a little and I know as soon as I can make the one big move (The Wife’s computer into the kitchen) everything else will just fall into place.

Wish me luck.
