My normal method for making my router come back to life is the turn it off, turn the computer off, turn it back on, then turn the computer back on. Sometimes I have to do this more than once. I suspect the computer just needs attention.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Anyone know of any web-based mySQL utilities like phpMyAdmin, but better?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've noticed a marked lack of any wireless technology in the neighborhood but that's not to say there couldn't be something fishy going on.

Hmmm. Doesn't work for me.
ETA: Now it does, when I open a new window.

Compassionately intolerant
Wacky tech question.
Remember that eMac that turned into a doorstop in February?
Apple dudes tell me it is a lost cause. I accept that but now, I've stubbed my toe on it just about enough. I'd like to freecycle it but can't get it to start to wipe the hard drive.
If I stick a bunch of magnets on it, will that scramble things enough that anyone who tinkers with it will have to start fresh?
