Woosh!!!!

Woosh is proving to be such a pain in the bum - we ordered the wireless connection and they sent us the modem. On testing it out, we are not getting any signal in our house, so they sent us a booster antenna, so that we can try and get the signal {their logic in not sending that to us earlier was that we didn't need it as we are in the good signal area}. And now the booster antenna has barely made a difference. I am writing from a Woosh connection but it is incredibly slow - feels like a dial up connection and it somehow doesn't want to work with the wireless router that I bought. I had a completely pain free experience of buying a wireless internet router, so that we can have internet on multiple machines in the house without having to run cables. Now just need to get the internet going one way or another - since wireless is proving to be a pain now thinking about going wired (through Telecom..grrrr). So for those wanting to know how Woosh is - my experience with it has been frustrating and annoying - I wish there was more choice here in NZ when it comes to telecommunications and internet.

Most of my unpacking is complete and now I just need to arrange things into their own little compartments. At the moment everything is still a little spread out in the lounge. I found an Indian store which sells samosas that are really close to the taste of samosas in India and they are definitely the best ones I have eaten in Auckland so far.

Since we don't have a TV at the new place, Benji hooked up his computer monitor to my laptop and we watched 'Infernal Affairs 2' and it was a good watch. There are some really weird music choices and some random pacing choices but it was still an enjoyable movie. And it kind of fills up the original story nicely.

But at this point I think I am tired from the day and the frustration of the last couple of days over getting the internet thing working, to write anything more - so I will be off to bed.

Till later,
Amit
