ktrondid i ever mention how awesome my dad is? he just happened to have an
extra power supply sitting around out in the garage. and since that seems
to have indeed been the problem, my computer's been far less grumpy since
i took it home to see the parents.
(anybody else identify strongly with yesterday's word-of-the-day? resistentialism. oh yeah. i KNOW that all printers hate me.)
so yesterday, once it got a tad late in the day to go job fishing, i went shopping for wireless networking stuff. because running wires down the two flights of stairs in the apartment just isn't practical. i ended up breaking my vow not to spend any more money on things for this computer that can't easily be transferred to a laptop, but the slower-speed usb receiver was $30 more than the higher-speed card i got. and by the time i actually get a laptop, it'll likely all be obsolete anyway.
and now i'm drinking my morning cup o' tea to the sound of rtl2 instead of trying to glean useful information out of three tv news channels. i like it.
i haven't figured out how to do the encryption stuff yet, but methinks i'd rather enjoy the internet for a while before i break it again. so if you happen to live next door to me, enjoy the free access for the day...
