With the one-year lease on my current apartment rapidly coming to its end, I've spent most of the weekend packing up various belongings into tidy boxes. (The original plan was to go all-out with nothing but packing and cleaning, but I only got part of the way through the packing, and didn't even start on the cleaning.)

Along with that snarl of cables which invariably finds its way to the space behind a computer, I packed up my cable modem. Oops, there goes my network access. Which is going to make it hard to make good on some commitments I made for the weekend.
