Wall Street is now Online
Yes its true.... Yesterday, we got the Internet guys to come and set up the DSL to the house.
And what a long process it was. They started at around noon, when they called R at work, and asked his permission to drill a hole in our wall. He borrowed a friends bike, and rode home, to meet the landlady, and obtain such permission.
A and R then watched them a bit as they proceeded to dig up the roads around wall street. Thankfully they left Wall Street untouched :-)
I cam home at 1800, and watched them install the router to the house. At 2045, the guy came to set up the internal wiring. He left at 2230! After which R and I went cyber-happy!
Downloaded my favourite browser... and some of its extensions.. downloaded the various messengers.. and set them up with our headset and mic... And then R managed to talk to ppl!
I tried too, but some ppl like NG were very busy in a meeting of sorts!
So now Wall Street has ushered in the era of broadband.. The irony of it, however, is that the broadband cable runs through the sewers!!
