Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The answer turns out to be outdated firmware on the router. (Four hours later.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. Sorry about that. Wish I'd been of help.

Our current wireless problem is that our new spiffy cellular modem apparently interferes with our wireless router. For me, using the network knocks me offline. For D., he can't use the network while connected to the internet. I need to do some troubleshooting, but haven't had the time.

And of course, I think the solution is to buy a new -N MIMO router with a port specifically created for my modem. For $219.

Jessica, you realize that's a viral promotion for Nova Scotia?

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

Damn. Who produced that? What with the flash and the video....

OK, I went to the end. It's an ad for Nova Scotia!

Oh, I know! That almost makes it funnier.

It's kind of controversial around here because it cost $300K of taxpayers dollars, and not everyone gets to the NS message.

I'm not surprised.

It's almost like that "Cat herding" Superbowl commercial. Which was one of the awesomest commercial ever, but who remembered what it was for (even the day after it aired)?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Unfortunately for the Cat Herder commercial, it was for a company that most people never encounter in their daily life... so brand awareness wasn't exactly built up.

I SO want a Pomegranatephone now. And that website is very very nice Flash indeed.

My biggest fear would be beard shavings ending up in the coffee.
