The internet is my direct connection to friends and family, especially those now far away. When it&#8217;s down, I feel shorn, perhaps the electronic equivalent of unintentional banishment, exile.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the later 1980&#8217;s I&#8217;ve handled my own computer problems, sometimes with a boost\u00a0from my friends, in particular cybermage Bill Schmidt. When I can&#8217;t fix a problem, it leaves me feeling defeated and sad. Where I was last night.<\/p>\n<p>So. Had to face front. This one is beyond me. I&#8217;m going to call in a specialist to set up a wi-fi or internet link for the loft that works reliably. It&#8217;s too important to me. Working\u00a0episodically seems the best I can produce on my own and it&#8217;s not good enough.<\/p>\n<p>The wi-fi, hardwired links in the house work fine. It&#8217;s the physical separation between the house and the loft that creates the challenge. The previous owner had a solution that worked for him, but I don&#8217;t understand it.<\/p>\n<p>Another project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samhain \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Thanksgiving Moon Aaargghh.
