I'm in the process of overhauling my home network. My primary motivation is to reduce the network latency -- and more importantly latency variation -- of my gaming computer (and secondly to get my printer up and working again.) (Yeah!
)Unfortunately I seemed to have fried my router last night. It was probably ESD from carrying it around, walking on the carpet in the cold weather. It won't even reset to its factory defaults. (Oohh. )Fortunately I just ordered another router a couple of days ago (with a built-in WiFi and new cable modem) (Yeah! )Unfortunately it won't arrive until next week. (Oohh. )Fortunately, I just happened to have a brand new router just laying around (both wired and WiFi). I had intended to use it as a dumbed down print server, but now it's functioning as my primary router. Times are changing quickly. (Yeah! )Maybe it's not a bad thing. I was thinking to myself yesterday morning before this all happened, "What the heck am I doin' with all these routers!?" Many more network changes to come next week. |

The latest issue of Science says that Alan Alda, via Scientific American, is looking for the best explanation of what time is. The caveat is, that you are explaining it to an 11 year old.

Everyone say a prayer for Turbo. Not because it will help but just to annoy him.

Some parts of the Internet are very slow today. I had to cancel a Google search, and Yahoo news is not performing well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday (wiki, sorry) According to biographers of McCartney and the Beatles, McCartney composed the entire melody in a dream one night in his room at the Wimpole Street home of his then girlfriend Jane Asher and her family.[6] Upon waking, he hurried to a piano and played the tune to avoid forgetting it.[7] McCartney's initial concern was that he had subconsciously plagiarised someone else's work (known as cryptomnesia). As he put it, "For about a month I went round to people in the music business and asked them whether they had ever heard it before. Eventually it became like handing something in to the police. I thought if no-one claimed it after a few weeks then I could have it."[7] |
