My New Home

So, Monday afternoon, evening and night I was busy moving. Meri came by to help with assembling some furniture for us during the time she was able to help out (Thanks). I got my bed, Tom's couch, and a bunch of other things moved in so that I can spend the night. Gaila was also a big help with assembling the rest of the dining set and helping with a bunch of heavy lifting and being handy.
Colin and I found that the Internet is not working yet in our building. According to the instructions we are supposed to go to their web site and register our NICs. Though nothing is accessible form the apartment, and when I go to their web site the registration process does not work. First problem is that they don't have our complex in the list of properties they service. Second, the username for the account is suggested to you and comes in the form of a truncated concatenation of your last to first name (example JohReari), no way to enter your own username. Then when it asks for a password to assign to your account it thinks you haven't filled in the password field. Though, by looking at their site I can understand that they can't really do anything. At least there is a phone number, hopefully Colin called them or I can call them when I get home.
I still need to move 2 desks and my dresser, so there is still a lot of work to do. I hope we can have the apartment figured out and clean by the weekend.
Pictures when things a cleaned up :-)

It didn't let you register at ISU? I just went through the registration process here at work today and it let me in just fine and now im registered. Though I'll have to head back about 7pm-8pm or later to figure out if it works or not.
