First post from Sweden!
Ah, at last, I have a connection to work with. Sweden, land of the ubiquitous and fast internet - and I've somehow managed to get the one apartment complex in the city where there isn't a gigantic fiber connection installed! And ADSL takes 3 weeks or more to get... But a solution presented itself.
Mobile broadband.
Yes. With the cell phone network having the sorts of bandwidths usually only seen in solid lines these days, I am now online via the third-generation cell phone data network. Think iPhone, only in desktop format! :-)
The move itself was godawful, and most of that was my own damn fault.brightlyiburn was very clear in her advice to me, I, fool I was, did not listen. Well, at least things are settling out. For example, the affidavit certifying that I am living in Sweden arrived by mail today, meaning that now I just need to get a scan into B's hands along with a scan of my passport, and she has all the papers she needs to submit her application for a spousal residence permit!
Tomorrow, I go to my local Ikea (this is Sweden - of course there's a local Ikea! :-) ) to get some sort of computer desk plus a bit of shelving to put stuff on. Maybe then this place will start looking less like a catastrophe and more like a home.
