What the--?

I woke up from my usual post-grocery shopping nap and tried to go online to apply for some jobs. It's monday and all, which is new job-for-applying day (come to think of it, that needs a catchier title).

Anyway, I was totally thwarted (stymied, if you will) by my internet not working. After twenty minutes of powering up and powering down, and another hour on the phone with Comcast, we have guessed that the router is not working.

So I, my freinds, and bummed.
I hate having to share a computer with H almost as much as he hates sharing with me.

Plus my cats hate it when I'm shut away in the office.




In better news, I think this is the most hilarious icon I have ever made.
It's totally cracking me up.

You can determine if it's the router by unplugging the router from the cable modem, and plugging the airport directly into the modem. If your laptop works, then it's the router. If not, it's something else.

I think that's what we did...either that or I plugged the computer right into the modem, skipping the airport. Either way, everyone but me seems to have access *sigh*.

So I might need you to help me pick out a new router.

That reminds me. I've got some questions about mac hardware. We plan to, hopefully very soon, get back to being a 2 PC home. One of which will be a mac. Do you know if Macs and PCs can share routers easily. Is it a case where the Mac will work with the router better than PCs?(Hopefully) And what's an 'airport'? I had assumed that the Airport was the router. With PCs you would use a wireless router and not need an Airport.

Yes both platforms can easily use the same router/acces point/etc. An Airport, is a wireless access point. Apple just calls them "Airports." Slightly slower than connecting through a wired connection, but you don't have to run wires throughout the house.

I heard that Jackson signed on after hearing only the name of the movie.

It's true. And when they wanted to change it for something more reasonable, he threatened to pull out.

LOL I said "pull out!"

Well of course. This type of movie can only be a farce. It should be very entertaining if everybody making it is in the right mood.

I'm totally stoked. Even if it sucks, it's gonna be great!

PS H doens't want to see DaVinci code.
Can I go with you guys?

[identity profile] nate101000.livejournal.com 2006-05-18 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
We have new plans for up north. We plan to see DaVinci Code tomorrow sometime around 1pm. After the movie is over, we'll pickup Michelle and run.

I always assumed that you were going with us.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-05-18 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but you also assume I'm gonna make out with your wife in front of you--when obviously we wait until you're asleep.

Are we seeing it by me or by you?
Anyway, I'll try and be packed and ready by noon. I'm also bringing a few foodstuffs that need to stay cold, but I have some cold packs as well.

One of these days I'll catch you two. I really think it's only fair that you let me watch.

There is a 1pm showing out here. It's perfect. We'll pick you up between 11:30 and 12.

Fortunitally we have one of those new fangled electric ice boxes. So we'll keep your stuff cold.

Then later you and Kim can heat things up.

Okay, I should be done choosing which lingerie to bring by then. ;-}
