Our wings are not tired

I've tried manual settings in the rooms that are based on the settings that get pulled down when this machine can connect, but no luck in the rooms.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Duh, yeah I should have mentioned that we tried that....

I wonder if there's some WiFi / DHCP diagnostic thingie....

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sounds like the hotel has multiple wifi routers, and they might need to have someone reset the one nearest you...

I know it's a dumb question, but have you reported it to the management?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. They shrugged. ND was not amused.

Your tag here.

I agree. It sounds like the Ethernet side of the WAP is misbehaving.

The answer from management was "Oh yes, we know, WiFi works in the courtyard, we haven't worked it out in the rooms yet, so we're not letting folks do that."

This despite the fact we asked more than once about WiFi in this hotel and it was a criteria for choosing the hotel.

Sigh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So, Mac people, I remember a few weeks ago there was some kind up update thingy that screwed everyone's torrenting up. What's the preferred OSX torrent client these days? Stil Azureus?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Jess, I'm running Azureus right now, and it seems to be pretty good.

And you can find comic torrents where?

Try demonoid.com. It's hit-or-miss, like going to a used bookstore, but they have a lot.

Mostly lurking...

I've got about 20 porn videos on my computer that I didn't download. I happened to find them in my "my music" folder today when transfering some music over to my other computer. Any idea how they might have gotten there?
