Good morning world

I've been having intermittent Internet problems due to a Comcast modem with an attitude problem. So today I had a technician come out and swap out the modem for a newer model that handles faster speeds. While he was here he also upgraded connections on the outside of the house and up on the pole.

Then he added a new location for the modem and their Netgear router so it's now on the bookshelf behind my desk where it's easy to connect to the Net via Ethernet instead of wi-fi when my MacBook is plugged into my external monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Definitely seeing faster response times from surfing the usual sites.

Plus that also freed up an Airport Express modem so I can relocate it from another room and use it to stream music via AirTunes to some external speakers.

If you didn't get all that, it's okay, most of it was for Cleo anyway.

Now if I just had some

all would be good in the world.

Wishing everyone a good day.
