For the third time this past month, a technician came home to install a
fiber line in our flat. The first one didn't found where to plug the
cable in the building. The second one found it and made the wiring;
but unfortunately we were unable to make the connection to the fiber
plant. In his defence, it is not in my building but in another; and we
couldn't find the keys to access the basement despite our
investigations with the neighbors. But fortunately, before the third
technician came today, I was able to get in touch with the janitor who
opened the door for us (he was on holidays until august the 1st).
So now, after a month, we have Internet at home again. My wife is very
happy about it. Me? I'm like "meh". The thing is, since a year now,
I've changed my relation with Internet and I managed to configure my
devices to be offline first. It means that I just have to be connected
few minutes each day or two to grab the content I need--in the case I
need something at all. Obviously, sometimes, there's some ressources
that I don't have locally but I can fight the urge to connect to the
Internet to get it "now". Unless it's something very urgent, it can
wait.
But I will say more on this topic in future posts in the coming days.
