Life with wireless

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, I did pick up the wireless card and get the wireless router working within the existing network. I’m blogging this from the bedroom right now before I hit the sack. That is very cool. Still have some odd behavior that I need to research a bit before I’ll feel 100% comfortable that everything is working the way it should be (like why, after I shut down my desktop PC, did the wireless connection disappear until I rebooted the laptop?), but it’s fun to be able to be online without having to give up access to other parts of the house, or the front porch.

It’s all about geek comfort..*L*

    As I said yesterday, I thought getting a copy of Uniform Server would give me a quick and dirty way to create some sort of intranet for our office. I’ve been thinking of myriad ways we could use it, various forms and databases we could use with it, and I’ve gotten really pretty excited about…

    A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer. Then, from today’s LangaList comes a pointer to Fred’s…

    So I checked the switch that conference room was connected to and the port is fine and dandy. I can plug my laptop into the port directly and it has no problem connecting to the network. This is not good. This may mean there’s trouble in the wiring in the walls of that room. I’m…
