and eliminated the cable i've had running across my floor for a week. i was gonna do both jacks but i suspect the neighbours can hear me fiddling with this wall quite well and it was getting pretty late. i'll finish it tomorrow.
this was my first time using these punchdown/LSA/whatever blocks. they're convenient enough, though the colour coding didn't help me much, since it wasn't clear whether each colour referred to the connection above or below it. so i still had to bust out one of those crunchy ancient T568B GIFs you find on google image search.
anyway, it works. and i somehow managed to wire patch jack #2 to the right-hand wall jack, so the numbering stays neat :)
