My apartment is laid out in such a way that I will be relying on wireless network for almost all of my computing needs. it is much slower than the 100-megabit wired solution have been using for the past 4 years. I have had wireless for my laptop for almost 3 years, but that was for 1 machine, and I would plug it into the wired network when I wanted to transfer large files. I may run a ca…
Well I got stopped in mid sentence when my mom, sister, and the baby dropped by. What I was going to say is mute now anyway. My mom and sister beat me up until I changed the layout of where I will put everything. It is going to be a big pain in the ass to move stuff. The wall unit that I had in my bedroom is going next to my desk on the opposite side of the room from where I thought the bigger wall unit will go. Instead of worrying about wiring, the cable guy will have to deal with that. I will still leave the router in the wall unit, and just run a single cad5 cable to a switch at my desk. The servers will still go wireless since they are in a closet. I hope I get reception in my bedroom now with the WiFi. I should. I will test it this week.
I am taking 2 of the 3 pieces of my parents couch, and 3 of the 5 pieces of their living room wall unit. That is what will fit into my apartment nicely. We think the 3rd piece of the couch may fit. I am going to take it and see. Worse comes to worse I will get rid of it. The extra wall unit pieces will not fit so I am not even taking it.
The dining room table will fit but it will be a bit tight in space for it. After arguing with my mom and sister, I took measurements of all the furniture and the apartment and did a visio of the whole place. I now have a better understanding of what I am putting where. A Visio may be overkill but I wanted to know how everything would look to scale in the space I had, so I did one. I do them all the time so it wasn’t a big deal. That is what I get for doing the entire office all 10,000 square feet of it off of a CAD drawing. You get used to doing them.
My sister is coming over Tuesday. She will help me move the 1 wall unit from my bedroom to the living room before the cable guy comes. She was pissed that I didn’t call her Saturday for her to come over and tell me I was putting it in the wrong place to begin with. I thought I had it covered. Note to self: I have no idea about interior design even though I think I know what is right for me. I will get the help I need to move the dam unit, and as an added bonus I get to hang out with morgan. I just hope she sleeps long enough for us to move the wall unit without stopping to feed or change her!
