After going to bed at 1 AM this morning after our all day flight home yesterday
I woke at 7 AM. I had oatmeal for breakfast since we didn't have milk for
cereal. Went to Best Buy when they opened at 10 and exchanged my burned out
router for a new one. The extended warranty is the best thing I have ever done.
This is the 3rd replacement modem for the 9.99 price of the extended warranty.
Once I got the modem activated with Time Warner I spent several hours trying to
get Internet connectivity. The issue turned out to be the cable. I used the
yellow crossover cable which it doesn't need. It needs a straight through cable
instead. Once this was corrected I tried the house network but no dice. So far
i replaced the cable modem and the router. Later at night when I was going to
bed I replaced the switch under the office desk which supplies Manon and the
switch in the upstairs closet. I suspect the 8 port switch in the office closet
is bad. Once Manon was running I watched some YouNow live broadcasts before
bed. I was shocked by some of the shorts that teenage girls were wearing with
their butt cheeks exposed. Oh my. Dinner tonight was trying to eat light. We
had cottage cheese and fruit for lunch and salad and a squash medley for dinner.
