Netted It

It has been a fairly benign day, despite the forecasts. So far, as the sun begins to set, there has been no sign of rain and the wind has been slight.

The Silver Vixen is busy sorting out the seasonal change in wardrobes. This involves swapping several metric tonnes of summer outfits for there Autumn/Winter equivalents. The Gorse Fox's only involvement is moving crates of clothes to make them more accessible.

The nice man from the Post Office rang the bell this morning. He had the new BT Home Hub for the Gorse Fox to install. This was fairly straightforward in essence. The time consuming aspects were re-seating the new hub in the "man cave" and hiding all the wiring. Velcro tape and cable ties were snipped and linked and after about an hour, everything was back to the satisfaction of the Gorse Fox. The afternoon has been spent checking the various connections and ensuring the device tables were a) correctly identifying those devices which are Static as opposed to DHCP, and b) the device tables actually reflect meaning full names and locations. As usual it turned out to be an interesting exercise and an opportunity to tidy some things up.
