Despite some torrential style rain that fell on me and my stuff, I’m glad to say that I made it to Homebush (west side aiii) without too many hiccups and only a couple of things needed to dry.
SIGHS:
-
The whole apartment building is like some sort of shitty sponge or PMSing chick: retains water like noone’s business. The garbage room had a few mm deep of water around cos it’s in the basement and drainage sucks.
For some reason there’s water dripping from the ceiling of my balcony like it’s forming a stalactite even when it’s sunshine out for a while. - Dumbarse power, antenna and phone outlets or socket: they are placed in the stupidest positions and never in logical places as well as being rare. As a result, I’ve ended up with lots of extension cables, power boards and absurdly long cables in an apartment that is super tiny.
- Bad ADSL2 SNR: this is related to the above. Out of the 2 phone sockets available, only 1 works. I think the line wiring is super dodge. I’m getting extremely low SNR values, just about enough to hold a sync but not by much. Expect unexpected downtime. This has also forced me to run a massively long line cable to my modem. The whole building is apparently wired in a similar shitty maner. From what some residents have said, the hallway lights can’t be turned off lest TV antennas get no reception. I have never heard of that before.
I’ll put up some pics of the creative wiring soon.
