bodlon: It's a coyote astronaut! (Default)
Ordinarily my blog of origin for posts would be over at Dimlight, but I am being sneaky and don't want my mother to know I'm asking about this.

A while back we found out about a "captioning" phone service she's eligible for because of her hearing loss. We got the parcel, though, and there's a problem: it requires a cabled connection to our in-house network, which is wireless.

It's been something like seven years since I actively worked in technology, so I'm both rusty and unsure of the technologies I might want to employ here (short of either a) drilling a hole through the floor/ceiling, or b) stringing long cables with hubs, both of which I suppose could work, but neither of which is particularly elegant).

Thoughts?
bodlon: (cumberbatch - with book)

I will be the first to admit that I am a lazy shaver.

Given total freedom (and a reasonable electric beard trimmer, which I really should invest in at some point) I would be perfectly content to exist in a perpetual state of moderate scruff, possibly verging on slight beardliness if I'm feeling particularly distracted.

I am aware that this may not be an ideal grooming choice.

That I would quietly tumble into No-Shave November as a concept and (mostly*) quietly play with it, mainly just as an experiment, is sort of up there with water being wet in terms of surprise factor.

The net result is...well, to call it a little bit Teen Wolf really only gives me license to play with ridiculous costume teeth at 6 AM**.

And now I have 24 hours to decide what to do with this amusing face full of hair. Eviction? Landscaping? Who knows! It's like a world of possibilities! On my face!

* I may have made jokes in a meeting about how the only thing I'm shaving this month is my back. People, this is why I cannot be allowed in public. Ever.

** Not that I strictly need permission for that sort of thing. I tend to wear horns when I'm using the exercise bike these days. I suppose we should all be grateful I didn't manage some sort of epic Freddie Mercury 'stache action. That would have required additional costuming. And a piano.
