The Angst After Tomorrow

[c9]

Just watched The Day After Tomorrow -- cute. Insanely impossible etc etc blah blah blah, but still exciting. Popcorn.

Also, my laptop's wireless has stopped connecting to my parents' router. ARGH! I have tried just about everything possible in this two-computer household to fix it, but everything else seems to be working perfectly, just not my (work) laptop. Frustrating. Luckily work bought the super-extended coverage, so guess who's getting a desk-side visit from Dell next week?

We're visiting my parents in Wasaga Beach tonight. The air here is pretty clean, and I think it triggers our sleep muscles a bit. We always end up very tired and in bed early here -- this is the latest we've ever been up here! Of course, it might also be related to the huge amounts of food we always eat here. *shrug*

Tomorrow it's back to the big city (North America's fifth-largest, I learned yesterday!) for shopping and hanging out with Bryce and Daryl. Sunday it's brunch then a BBQ. Monday, back to the grind.

Real life is too busy.

But Jake Gyllendhall all angsty PLUS Dennis Quaid all heroic, no??

Oh yeah, it was alright. But not quite *enough*, you know?

I discovered - much to my surprise - that when the wireless router is set for mixed B/G, rather than B or G, the router will drop the connection of one machine in favor of another of the same type. (Thank you, jdhorner, for helping with this).

It turns out my Powerbook is B only, while my work laptop and other wireless devices are G. If I set to B, Powerbook is fine; G, all others work fine; B/G, Powerbook + 1 device will manage.

Just a thought. They may have set for B/G to try and be all purpose. :-)

Where in Virginia Beach? I used to live there, you know. :-)

Wasaga, not Virginia. Straight north from TOronto, or Georgian Bay.

They don't do any router configuration, that's much more of a me thing. Their role is more "Cam, fix it!"

In this case, things were fine two hours earlier, but then decided to not be fine. Makes me suspicious of my getting-up-there laptop. Once I'm home I can start testing it more carefully.
