Gotcha. Cool.
Before, the coax line was coming through the window.. It was just hanging
out in the frame. Perhaps it just fell out of its previous place in the
window frame, I'm not sure.
Thanks for mentioning the leak - was this last week? It's important when it
rains to identify where the leak is at the time (since it is pretty hard to
tell later) and john will send the roofer right away to fix it..

We used John’s old cable penetration. The cable comes through a hole
drilled in the upper part of the window (or at least it does now). The
window doesn’t stay fully closed because it has warped. I just closed the
top of the window closes with relative ease, the bottom is colliding with
the frame. It should not be a problem to get it to close if its really a
concern. But it shouldn’t be much of a concern because it wasn’t letting
any water in during the last rainfall, I watched it pretty closely. We had
nontrivial amounts coming through a hole in the roof above the ballroom
balcony… but that’s another email thread.
I think we should definitely not try to reroute this connection until
Deconstruction is over.

Did anyone test up / down speeds?
Did Comcast leave the coax line running through the open casement window,
preventing it from closing? Because that is really not the best point of
entry. I'd rather not have it rain into that room after spending so much
money and time fixing it up.
The line is probably better run into the basement through the makeup air
duct, then up through the floor of into the ticket booth room.. if they
left enough slack we can do that ourselves.
Incidentally, the comcast they ordered is pretty expensive.. we would
probably want to downgrade.

Ben,
That's awesome. I need a dedicated line for the Julia Assange event in
December. I wonder if i can pay the December fee and Jason can just leave
the line there? Otherwise I will have to have yet another Comcast install,
which seems wasteful and may trigger a flag for them.

Fantastic People,
Today comcast installed business cable internet service at omni for
supporting the upcoming Deconstruction event. It terminates in the ticket
room where the existing cable penetration is. A very small router is
mounted to the wall next to the ticket window. This works because
Deconstruction's network needs will be near the back of the ballroom. After
the event, Jason Naumoff (Deconstruction guy, CC’d on this message) will
cancel the connection. Jason and/or his people will test the connection
before the event. I have the IP details of the link if we need them, but we
should probably just stay off that connection since it belongs to our event
customer.
It might be of interest that there is existing coax running from the
ticket room to other parts of the building. It looks like it branches off
to some place downstairs and some place upstairs, probably where John G.’s
residence was. In the future it would be possible to leverage part of this
cable run to terminate the cable at the sudoroom racks.
Also of note: the cable signal coming into the building is VERY strong,
so strong in fact that comcast put in a splitter to degrade the signal to a
reasonable level so that the router can be installed in the ticket room.
This bodes well for future connections that could terminate at the sudoroom
racks.
That is all.
Ben
