new cat6 ethernet ports

I opted to put the new Cat-6 Ethernet ports underneath the existing outlet rather than to the left of it (to the right is a stud) because it would look less weird and require less reaching to connect. I tried to get the top to roughly line up with the top of the stairway railing. (It's actually a bit high by maybe an eighth of an inch.)

Both ports connect to a Linksys gigabit ethernet switch in the attic. Today was the first time I've used a punch-down tool in roughly 11 years. Fortunately, they still work exactly the same way they did 11 years ago.

(That thing hanging down from the outlet is a wireless doorbell chime extender. Downstairs there's a module that sticks to the doorbell and 'listens' for it to ring. When it picks up a sufficiently loud noise, it transmits a signal to the extension chime so we can hear it upstairs when the doorbell rings downstairs.)

Hi Nick,

I've just seen your youhavebo site and it looks really funny, at first. Like everything though it has serious potential for misuse.

Have you ever thought about the weapon you are giving to the bully at work or in the class room? It doesn't matter that you have "terms of use." It only takes one instance of misuse to do untold damage. A message like this could do serious damage to a vulnerable person.

I would urge you to remove this site.

Apart from your subscribers it would seem.
