AAAGH! This would've made my life so much easier. I laid down some new flooring and used the hollow channel behind the trim to hide my wiring. Do you realize how difficult it is to nail trim without punching the nails through the wires? PITA. I had thought about channeling the dry wall to get better results but it never crossed my mind to make a channel to make removal easier.  :banghead:

I found those Wiretracks yesterday.  But if you look at the main page, he's just selling the remainders, as he's closed the business.

So basically, wiring behind a wall's a real ---smurfette---, involving a healthy amount of time and money...especially if you screw something up.

Well, now you know! And knowing is half the battle. GI-JOE!

Actually, I am on a "Star Trek my place up" kick, so I was thinking of these things. Currently, my startrekkie nerdness  is exemplified by a UPS I ordered that doesn't notify the computer that the power is out; so I wrote a batch file that detects whether the power  (or LAN) is out and starts by playing a sample of Margel Barrett saying "Automatic shutdown is in progress" and then does the star trek red-alert klaxxon. After 10 minutes the batch file runs shutdown.exe (unless the power or LAN comes back online) and safely shuts the fileserver down. Yes I AM a dork....

I've been meaning to get my UPS to communicate with my PCs for a while now. Unfortunately, I have three failed UPS where the battery de-gassed(?) and would require minor surgery to remove from said UPS. That leaves me with two UPS that may or may not work. Buggers.
