My computer can't seem to connect to my wireless router at all, despite everything being hooked up properly and the correct network key being used, etc. My 360 (which is close to the PC) has no problems connecting to the internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? Googling for answers has mostly thrown up recommendations of buying a simultaneous dual-band router, in case there is any interference, but I can't tell if this necessary.

Thanks!

Ed: it's just connected and made a liar outta me, but it's been very patchy - I've had no internet at home for a few days...

Ed ed: it's still really slow, like.

Disconnect and turn everything else off, then power up just the router and your pooter?

Yes, though they fluffed it. Then I realise that half of them probably weren't born when it came out. Then I felt old.

I've got to Skype that production company this evening for my role in that TV programme I was on about.

It'll be the first time I've used Skype properly and not just with testing it with my wife in the next room. How exciting... I'm bound to mess it up.

I have 2. Only one first born admittedly, but do you think that'll be enough for another 12 months of Xbox live as well as the free internet?

Terms and conditions in the UK are weird anyway. As I understand it as a UK citizen you have a certain set of rights that you cannot sign away, so whatever is written in the terms and conditions is immaterial.
You have a lot more protection here, so it's no wonder that people can't be arsed to read them, as they will never be that bad...

Other countries differ, obviously. You can sign away a lot more shit in the US, for example, and terms and conditions actually mean something.

That man was fricking creepy. If my phone hadn't decided to not connect to the internet, you would've got a rather happy message celebrating the fact that my anal virginity remained intact.

Happy Grim... day, birthday!

I feel unwell today. There's been a cold going around at work and I seem to have picked it up. Just in time for the weekend. I wouldn't mind so much because I would welcome the excuse to stay in bed all weekend as I've had an extremely busy couple of months but we'd made plans to stay out in a hotel tomorrow night, getting drunk, going to the casino and going out for dinner. I've been looking forward to it all week. So, lots of drugs and an early night, tonight.

I other, more positive news, we got our drawings through and will be submitting our planning application for the work to the new house at the start of next week so fingers crossed that'll be okay.

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:31

At the moment, there are no rooms upstairs or stairs leading to the loft, and the kitchen shown on the plan is currently the kitchen/dining room so we're making ourselves a nice sized entertaining space.

The first floor isn't going to be quite like that; we'll put the bathroom central at the top of the stairs, and have the hall wider so we have two lots of storage either side of the stairs, instead of just the one side. The upstairs rooms are plenty big enough to allow it, with each one being something like 4.5 x 3.5m. The layout of the en-suite and kitchen itself isn't going to be quite like shown, either. I haven't actually started measuring and pricing everything yet. Well, except the wallpaper for our bedroom, the kitchen, and the wardrobes for the dressing room. So, you know, the important things!

Thankfully, we can do an awful lot of the work ourselves and employ people on a labour only basis for things like blockwork and plastering. Our biggest immediate cost will be the central heating system and we'll get a man in for that, along with the electrics.

Happy birthday Grim...! And I would be happy to join in, but mine's not for a couple of months. Plus a bit. But it's the thought that counts, so thank you (you inaccurate buffoon).

Nice

What sort of square footage are you going from and to? I expect doing the work yourself will save a few pennies, but I don't envy you
