We have moved in

Ok. So we have now moved in! But I do not have any pictures for you yet. We have taken loads of pictures, but I do not have them here at work. Also it is quite messy still with boxes of stuff everywhere.

So, sorry for not posting in a long while. But the house is still not hooked up to internet, cable-TV or even telephone, which makes posting to the blog on non-work hours difficult. We are working to get us hooked up to Landskrona's fiber city network (supposedly the best city network in Sweden 2009, according to a yearly survey by the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise).

However it will be weeks before this is done, because we were late deciding what sort of connection to get - plain old copper from the (formerly governmental) telephone company, or red hot fiber from the city network, for around the same price.

Fiber would give us the opportunity to get really fast broadband (100Mbit for the same price as 2Mbit from our former broadband provider!), but also having to use IP-telephony, which we have had the opportunity to do a long time from our former provider (for free even). But we were not interested then, because we felt that it was way less reliable than standard telephony. I hope this has improved the last few years.
