I HAS AN INTERNET!
May. 18th, 2007 05:39 pmOK. So. I'm at home. Posting from my MacBook (♥). And it's not wired up to the router. First time that's ever happened. That's because the problem wasn't so much with the genuine, bona fide, honest to God, real life copy of a piece of shit, $35 on eBay router, but was the router itself. It and MacOS 10.4.9 can't talk nicely to each other. So, we trekked out to the local Apple Store today to buy an AirPort Express. It's sexy and about 1/4 of the size. And it was hell to get set up--not because of the AirPort, but because I had to power cycle everything, and Comcast requires that you call them before power cycling their modem. (Unplugging is good enough for most things, but as Comcast themselves own the modem in question, they don't take too kindly to full-on power cycling. *rolls eyes*
So, anyway. After convincing the Comcast tech that no, all I wanted to do was power cycle, really, just auth me, I finally got everything going. Yay me. /flex
Subeta's laggy as fuck, but then again, it always is. So I'm not worried about that.
Now if only my good mouse would arr--wait a second, why am I using this one? I have a travel mouse in my luggage. *takes it out* OK, that's better. (was using the family's PoS spare.) Correction: now if only I had pants that fit and weren't super formal or in the wash. The only ones that aren't either are in transit between Kentucky and here.
