I'm moving to an another house, into a terraced house. There ain't no Internet or cable-tv installed in the house. I've placed an order to the local internet and cable-tv Provider, but this could take some days or some week before they can dig down the cable from the road and into the house where a WIFI units will be installed. From there I have fiber to the Internet and cable-tv

I'll be surfing the internet until Sunday evening-Thereafter the computer will be taken apart-Meaning the mouse, keyboard and the speaker will be removed and put in a parcel.

What irritate me is that I can't follow the US election on Tuesday on our news channel and here in our US-Politics thread.

Yes I have a lot of work to do-Like packing-I have hired a company to do the moving for me.

Tomorrow Monday 4th I'm going to call the internet and cable-tv provider. Got a mail today where they wrote:
Our Technician will come to you Dec. 4th-December 4th!!!! A whole month without internet and tv.

It will almost be like living in the 30's.

Get yourself down to the library and borrow some Harold Robbins books, "A Stone For Danny Fisher" and "79 Park Avenue" are excellent books.

I'm currently logged on using a 'Smartee' Mi-Fi box - it's like driving a Jaguar E-Type after a Morris Minor. It's so easy to set up and use that I've informed British Telecom that I'll no longer require their services. It's also a fraction of the cost of monthly BT Broadband which includes a fee for landline rental

Show the cat a Schroedinger's box. A single glance should silence it and make it agree to any changes.

Can't wait to get my own computer up and running which is 19 Nov. (hopefully)

Finally!!! After, more than 3 weeks without internet I got it today. So I don't have to use my elder sisters internet. The furniture is where I want them-Now I only need to hang up the paintings.

Still no tv though.

The hot debates in GT rumble pit are waiting for you! :yeah:
What I would be interested in is: have these 3 weeks made you lose any weight or do you sleep better? Or did you suffer from cravings to hammer the light switch several hundred times in a row in absence of using a keyboard?

Well I survived more than 3 weeks without FB-I could access this forum through my sisters computer and my smartphone, which was my main goal.

What's only sadden me was that I missed the American election day and night here at subsim and FB. Seeing the face on those who can't stand his guts-must be priceless, when it came clear he had won.

I could see some 30 minutes Danish tv on my smartphone.

I got my daily dosis of General topics via my sisters computer or my smartphone(logged on read the stuff-Logged out).

It is first now when I got my own computer up and running I can take a more active roll in our debates.

Edit
My cat had her first debate with some local cat-There will be more of these debates.

My cat is what we call in Danish 'et gadekryds' = 'a street intersection' or you could say she's a mixed breed.

She was born in a barn on aug. 2011.

Major problems in Denmark due to nationwide mobile network outages. Blackout. No mobile phone service, trains at a standstill. According to media reports, there has been a widespread failure of the mobile phone network in Denmark. The emergency call system is also said to have failed. The Danish railway is also out of service, trains have stopped on the open track. Would be terrible if you just got internet back, any problems Mapuc?

No problems here. But yes there has been two major breakdown in our society.

Most of it is up and running and DSB-Danish railroad says they will be at
100 % again Friday morning.

Can't help thinking-Was it an attempt on sabotage? Or was it only some mistakes made by some worker ?
