Also, have not yet resolved the issue of Old Box, Has Stuff On It, How to Get Stuff Off It? The answer may be: port-to-port cable.

Does the old box have an ethernet port on it? If so, all you need is a crossover cable. I have one, if you want to borrow. I also have a spare ethernet card if you need it.

Yay new computer!

I'm surfing on my neighbor's wireless, since my wireless has decided not to work this morning. No idea why: it worked fine yesterday.

It's been conspiring with mine. The router crashes any time I try to talk to it directly (rather than through it to the outside world)

Happy Birthday, Erika!

Are they sure the guy training those cats isn't using some sort of mind control device?

Evil computers.

Apparently there is someone in my neighborhood with wireless that, miracle of miracles, actually put some level of security on it. My friend was over with his laptop, said "Hey, there's a network out there. Oh, it's asking for a key. Damn." I was beginning to think secured wireless networks were a myth.

Ack. That's terrible. Lots of ~ma for your friend, Aimee.

Happy birthday miss erika with your badass self.

ita, glad you're home. Oddly, even though I hardly see you, I missed you, because even though I don't see you often, I couldn't just call you up and say, "let's have pie" even if I wanted to.

See how I made that all about me and my needs?

Of the five wireless networks within reach of my laptop, three are secured. Mine, um, isn't. Yet. I'll get around to it!

I'm wondering if this is the same guy that appeared on Penn & Teller's show (I think it was on FX) a few years back. I remember they had a guy on with a bunch of trained cats. It was amazing.

When I was in the UK, one of my cousin's neighbors had wireless, but it was secure, so no Internet for me in those 2 weeks. Kinda sucked.

We've also got at lest 2 secure wirelesses in the apartment complex
