Ingredients

Procedure
- Install network cable from parents house to your home computer (50 meters away in a different house).
- Run cable through electrical conduit wherever cable is under ground for safetly and legality.
- Run though poly tube above ground wherever possible (and it’s cheaper).

- Connect up and you're ready to…
- Start Blog (promote blog wherever possible)

nice pic Mike - nerdy but nice :)
I eagerly await the next installment!
Hey, you even spell "metres" in american!
You know you two don't have to post the exact same thing from opposite viewpoints every time you make a post right?
Bron, maybe he wasn't meaning distance... perhaps the cable passed through a large number of meters, each measuring the amount of data passed through. I can't, for the life of me, imagine why you would do that, but it is a justification nonetheless.

(That's me sticking my tongue out - you can tell by the goatee)
Hmmm american auto spell checker in word for mac... but it down to my wonderful education or lack there-of.
As for the exact thing... I think Christine linked me cause she feels sorry I have about half the readership for my blog.
Paw me...
even better: get your parents to install wiFi, then "borrow" their wiFi key ;-)
Hooray for Mike!
