What's really up?

Well, yesterday when I got home I found a piece of paper slipped in the letterbox.


"We will be installing network ports for broadband (Internet) in all flats in this building.

PLEASE NOTE thast we will access your flat using a master key and any additional locks will need to be left unlocked. If you are not willing to allow this, you need to contact the subcontractor above no later than 3 pm the day before the scheduled installation. Please also let the subcontractor know if you have pets."


Hmm, what can I say. Very interesting, indeed very interesting. Until now, the Internet solution has been using a cable-tv modem, allowing speeds up to 2/1 MBits, which is kind of slow if you ask me.

Anyways, I havn't felt the need for a connection, having 'full employment' (figuratively speaking) and all. So, guess I won't connect even after they've installed this new 'hole in the wall', but it's neat anyways. I take it you will be able to subscribe for Internet instantly by hooking an IP over DHCP, going through an automatized process over a web interface, kind of like my old ISP - Bredbandsbolaget. So, this is good news, really. Those subcontractors was going to do this work somewhere between Thuesday (today) and Friday, between 7.30 AM - 4.00 PM.

Otherwise?
Well, not much.
This morning I heard the sound of a big vehicle outside. I looked out and saw this yellow sand-removing piece of ship slowly moving along the asphalt. So nice. I've yearned this for quite some time. Until now there's been lots of sand (mixed with small pieces of crushed glass) out there. Those evil pieces of glass, ugh..
