After geeking out at CompUSA for a while we came out here so that I could plot and scheme all the nifty things I could do with a wireless network in my house. Then it was Penn & Teller: Bullshit on Showtime followed by Bill Mahr's new HBO show (title of which eludes me), some headline news and VI. All in all a good evening. Now I'm going to crash and tomorrow I think I'll probably work on the backyard a bit. I'd like to try and make some progress in putting up the forms for the new driveway.... Fun fun fun.
Gah. I'm having much trouble staying awake now. Sheesh, I am getting old. It's not even 1:30 and it is sooooo past my bedtime. Must make time to ramble in the near future....
[*] - I almost didn't find this nifty toy. I asked at the help desk and the guy there claimed that it came up as POS on the computer. I was annoyed but I kept browsing the store (because hey, I actually like wandering around CompUSA ;). While browsing I heard another sales guy tell a customer that the box he was holding was one of the sale units. Dave and I did the quick glance and careful meandering towards the guy who was reading the box. He put it down and walked away and we were on it like a pair of starved Chihuahuas on a chicken wing. I waffled a bit about getting it, but it's just such a cool toy that I had to get it. So yeah, I was tempted to walk by and wave the router at the guy who told me they were sold out. I'm curious as to how his computer showed them as being sold out while there were two on the floor (at least) and mine came up just fine when I went to pay for it. Oh well. The new toy is here and in it's new home. Tomorrow evening I'll probably take a stab at making it work. Won't be able to totally set it up nicely until I get a wireless NIC for some of the machines. Heh, more toys to buy ;)
