Wireless, Fireless
My wife found a bargain: In cutting our "metro line" phone service, which we were paying, like, 27 bucks for the privilege of having calls from our suburb into Austin local calls, which we don't really need (since our cell phones can handle that and long distance calls), so we're saving 27 a month and Time Warner has a special right now that costs 30 bucks a month. So, for a 3-5 bucks more a month we're upgrading from dial-up to cable modem. Nice.
Not so fast. I spent a good 3 hours trying to make the wireless network equipment work...to no avail. Always a drag when it's not "plug and play." Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out fairly soon. It'll rock to have hi-speed access at home. That's always made me jealous about work, since we've got it here.
Now, I've heard, though, that the Tri-lateral Commission trained a crack group of paramilitary orangutangs, who are going to storm the Vatican and place a giant crystal, which will be the anti-Christ, and will emanate vibrations through the fibre-optics that Time Warner is installing. So, I'm a little nervous that this hi-speed internet might be a part of the one-world government that is coming.
:?)
