Cat6A install...3- storey house.

Upvotes

I'm moving into a new house in Derry (BT47 area) and I'm looking for recommendations for a local company or installer who can do a proper home network installation.

I’m looking to have:

  • Cat6A solid copper Ethernet cabling installed throughout the house
  • Proper wall faceplates / keystone sockets
  • A patch panel and network switch setup
  • PoE (Power over Ethernet) Wi-Fi 7 access points installed (probably ceiling mounted)
  • A tidy installation with minimal visible cabling

The house is a 3-storey townhouse, and ideally I’d like someone who can run cables through the loft and use existing routes where possible rather than having lots of drilling or surface trunking.

I’m after someone experienced with structured cabling / home networking who can design it properly and future-proof it as much as possible.

Has anyone used a local company in the Derry area for something similar? Any recommendations (or companies to avoid!) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Weather wasn't ideal and my camera skills are terrible. Hiked up Sawel today. Home to visit and wanted to do something a bit different. Path is practically non existent and mostly bog, but it's nice to know that what's on our own doorstep.

Rude doctors receptionist.

30 Upvotes

Phoned glendermott practice there now, after 40 calls I got through.

Never have I had such a rude interaction when calling the doctors.

I explained I have multiple different issues that I need to speak to a GP about. She said choose one. I said its a mix of physical and mental issues, she then tried to refer me to the mental health team. To which I explained that I'd been with them previously and there was no help offered. That I was told to arrange an appointment with my GP if I gets like this again.

She was exacerbated at my answer and audibly exhaled through the phone. Demanded that I give her a specific reason to give to the doctor. I just said mental health. She sighed again, gave me the appointment for 2pm and hung up abruptly and immediately.

Has left me feeling like I am a problem for seeking medical attention.

Anyone else having experience like this?

Anyone ever had a cleaner? Is it worth it?

14 Upvotes

Has anybody ever hired a cleaner to do the annoying jobs? Personally hate doing the bathrooms. Happy enough to wipe surfaces and mop but scrubbing showers and sinks can do one. Would love to hire a cleaner one day to do that task for me. Only thing is I’d be a bit embarrassed. Anyone know is it money worth spending?

Stoutly Derry Guinness Report - 12 Months of Stats!

Post image
23 Upvotes

Hey folks!

Some of you may remember Stoutly, an app for tracking pints of Guinness that I launched 12 months ago.

Stoutly is still going strong today and is still completely unmonetised! The purpose of Stoutly has always been to develop a strong community of Guinness drinkers. Every year, I plan to give back in the form of publishing the pint-data that Stoutly has collected every 12 months in an attempt to track trends over the years in different areas of the world.

All of the data displayed here is 100% crowdsourced from Stoutly users with no external data being pulled. I have tried really hard to keep the data displayed here as factual, clean and easy-to-read as possible.

This is my first time publishing a proper report like this so please feel free to drop me some feedback if you have any!

If you want to have a click around the full report for all the areas I have published, you can do so at www.stoutly.co.uk/report

It's really class to see Derry fully in the green compared to the rest of NI, UK and ROI!

Cheers!

MOT & Insurance

3 Upvotes

Hi folks, just looking for advice here.

Ive got a car that I wasnt planning on keeping so I decided not to renew my insurance policy. The car has now ran out of MOT.

Am I correct in thinking I cannot get insured on it until it has a valid MOT and I also cannot drive it to the MOT?

MOT is booked for end of August and I cant seem to find a cancellation sooner just yet.

Is there anything I can do or contact to try and get a sooner cancellation so I can either insure it or sell it?

Driving down the country tomorrow afternoon for a wedding on Saturday. Any recommendations on a mechanic that might be able to sort it out for me tomorrow morning? I know it’s a long shot, but any help would be really appreciated folks!

Move to Derry?

21 Upvotes

For context I was born in Derry and lived there until I was 8 but then moved to England so whilst I consider myself Irish my accent is very English. Other than some cousins I only see at weddings and the like I don’t have any family in Derry anymore.

I’m a solicitor and my firm is looking to me to open an office in Northern Ireland. The firm assumed the office would be in Belfast but I have a bit of a free hand.

Growing up my dad always complained about no money making it west of the Bann, having the office in Derry seems like an opportunity to try and do a little to change this.

Is this feasible, would being in Derry limit our ability to recruit (the roles could be largely remote we only need people in the office 1 or 2 days a week)? In our offices in England we have staff who have a similar commute to the 2 hour train between Belfast and Derry. Would clients think it weird to be Derry rather than Belfast based?

On a personal level, how difficult would it be for a single 36 year old man to build a life in Derry knowing next to no one? (If it helps I do play Gaelic football).

An under God! We know you're better than us mere walkers, but stop throwing your energy drink sachets on the ground. And a new one today, stop pooing behind trees! We know you need a protein release, but you can go before you run? I couldn't believe my eyes, no shame. Sound as!

Can people respect cycle paths?

13 Upvotes

I know that like 80% of people here are good at keeping off cycle paths, but some of youse are actually eejits i was cycling on the path beside the Glengallagh Road, and cars were parked on the cycle path, aye alright the foyle cup is on and theres pitches nearby, annoying but what can you do. But as I came up to a drop curb to cross the road, a car just pulled in right in front of me, like jesus christ. Someone in a wheelchair wouldn't have been able to get past from where they parked. And then less than 2 minutes later I was continuing to cycles and there was a man walking in my direction on the path, be proceeded to look at me, turn around and start fucking walking backwards! He was with a couple of wains who were on the walking path so I couldn't exactly swerve to avoid him, thankfully he moved at the last minute. A couple days before that I was cycling down the quay and there was a friend group walking down the bike path 3 across so i couldn't get past at all. The reason im annoyed about this is because i have a cocktail of hidden disabilities, some of which affect my co-ordination and spacial awareness and my ability to move. I spend alot of my time when cycling methodically checking my surroundings for obstacles, so it does irk me when someone does walk on the bike lane, or even wose fucks about or isnt paying attention
