Journal gothicpoet's Journal: Of ethernet and small furry burrowing creatures...

I just bought a new (okay, old) house recently and decided to wire ethernet from my 'office' room around to the family room at the other end of the house. I've already got wireless so you might ask "why?"

We own a ReplayTV... and it's got ethernet... and there's wonderful software called DVArchive that will let me play shows off the ReplayTV on our computers. But the wireless bandwidth is a little iffy so I ran ethernet out the wall and around the house.

Which is where the moles come in. Real moles, not the spy novel variety. I discovered the burrowed lines around the side of my house when I was running my cat5 cable.

And that leads me to wonder what the "Slashdot way" of getting rid of moles would be... Surely there's some geeky technological way to go about it.
