Upgraded the firmware and fiddled with the router a bit more this morning. Hope I haven't done anything that'd make it disconnect and make

giving_ground be without internet today. >>

I have been given advice from some techy people and hopefully BT's system will sort my problem out in the next few days.

While looking around, I found some info on installing powerline/home plug networking, which is what home in HK has been using for the last few years. Considered exploring it further and then thought, why bother? I don't need that. At all. XD;;;;

This morning, while walking to work, I found myself trying to map out the layout of my boarding school in my mind. There are lots of bits of areas that just wouldn't connect. Like, after going up those stairs, how do I get to the school office again? Or how did the Berrymeade corridor connect with Newquay, and after going down the stairs at the end of Berrymeade, do I come out right next to the Year 8 common room, or the Year 7 tutor rooms? I guess my school did have weird corridors and stairs. The overall layout must have been designed to get people lost.

[edit] They WHAT? They want me to get to COVENTRY for 9:30am???

My 6th form was a bit like that. I never did figure out how the science & technology block was all connected together...

(And I still has internet, obv. :) )

For me, the classrooms themselves were okay... it was how the dorms connect to each other, and how at the end of the corridor of Year 9 dorms, you could go up to the Year 10 dorms (another corridor seemingly parallel to the Year 9 dorms), or go down to a corridor with a common room and an exit immediately to your right, and everything else to your left, but if you go down another level (underground-ish) you get to the dining room. But if you're at the Year 10 dorm and you go down the stairs in the middle, you end up outside the English rooms. And you can't get to the English rooms from Year 9 dorm, you have to go down to the level where the common room is, and walk a bit, and hang a right... but then you thought the Year 9 and 10 corridors were parallel to each other so why...? O_o

Internet yay. XD;

^^; You must have a map of your school somewhere!

..this is where I'm glad my school only has 2 floors :|

Hehe, I'm looking at the website and now remembering the layout! Not that it makes any more sense. The way it's all connected is really weird.

sounds like you studied at Hogwarts ))))
am being silly, sorry.

XD Old schools in this country are a bit like that, really! Of course we don't get moving staircases and all, but yeah, weird corridors and all that are quite typical. This is what my school looks like!

Oh. My. God.
*is deprived of speech*

I know this kind of British shools are in every textbook as typical for the country etc, but it's still a bit shocking to realize they actually exist in reality ))))

It's a lot shinier now than when I was there! A lot of the newer facilities were completed during my last 2 years at the school. Back then, the school fees weren't astronomical figures.... But yeah, it does exist! I don't know if it's typical or not though. XD
