Big update thingy

It’s been a long time
since I posted a “here’s what’s been going on” sort of entry, so here’s

the walls and we still have to buy window coverings and [...]

Wow, I’m just posterrific tonight.

Wireless intarweb

this Future Shop catalog entry.

Incidentally, I’m just starting to plan an 802.11g network at home,
which will involve a couple of desktop PCs and a laptop all running
Linux and occasionally running Windows. It seems to me that the
SMC 2802W (PCI) and SMC 2835W (Cardbus) are [...]

“I rear-ended him because he stopped too quickly, officer.”

“Sounds like you were following too closely, sir.”

“Well, officer, I was just trying to read the little sign on
his license
plate.”

In other news: Move is done, internet access from home is spotty. If
any locals know of any reason why I should avoid Storm Internet for DSL,
please let me [...]
