I've taken to wiring up my own
and feeling really smug about it afterwards.

I hate wiring up cables
but it does make you feel very manly and technical.

I only went wireless
when there 4 of us over 2 floors in the house. Before that I just dragged CAT5 every where :) It's cheaper and generally better tbh. Now I've got the kit though I'll stick with it.

2 year olds
cant bite through wireless networks.

I dislike wireless.
Cat5 everywhere is the way to go. Except for laptops. Laptops are better with wireless.

/has an 8-port switch in bedroom

Run your CAT5
next to your power cables and you have a 50-50 chance they won't do it again.

Wifi is wonderful stuff.
It allows you to sit in the garden with the lappy if you so desire, in the toilet.

Lock yourself in the toilet
when you download videos of stoats fisting toads in leather.

Exactly
Christ, putting up shelves and I get a boner for how great I am.

My dad built a second house in his spare time ffs.

It's a sad fact of life
that however manly you are, your dad is always more manly.

There's probably some kind of mathematic formula that spotty little vrigin nerds could dream up.

At 35mph
that's about how far you have to think, react and stop your vehicle. In perfect conditions.

If it's raining, it would take you that far to stop at about 15 mph. If it was icy it would take that far at less than 4mph.
