I had my birthday this week and my dear wife bought me one of the best gifts someone nerdy might wish for: a giftcard to a local electronics-store. (I have to add that I did get some other presents as well.)

Took a quick trip into town yesterday to pick some stuff I need for expanding the network in the house. Here’s the proof:

- a network cable tester (+ battery)
- RJ45 connectors
- crimping pliers
- 100m of cat-5e

…next up: pull cable from point A (our home-office) to point B (the livingroom) which is at the other end of the house
