Mmmmmm, Friday afternoon…
LOL!
I’ve just finished setting up my AirPort Express and was testing the signal strength on mum’s laptop, out in the loungeroom…and I can see the neighbour’s wireless network! And it doesn’t have a password on it. 🙂 Barely any signal strength, it keeps dropping out, and doesn’t show up at all if you move away from the very corner of the loungeroom. But still… 🙂
Now that I think about it, that could have been why the signal strength to our AIrPort Extreme base station was bad…the two networks might be on the same channel and are interfering.
/me tests that theory.
UPDATE: Bingo! Next door’s network was indeed the problem. I changed the channel that the AIrPort Extreme connects on to 12 (from 10) and we’re consistently getting 2-3 bars of reception (out of 4 maximum).
WOO!
I went down to the Mall this morning and got my shiny new Sony-Ericsson T630, and my AirPort Express arrived this afternoon. 😀
Nifty. I’m going to get the Sony-Ericsson T630 instead of the T610. Apparently the screen is much nicer on the 630, for a start. Not to mention the 610 is still on back-order, and they’ve got the 630 at the store now. 🙂
Gonna grab it tomorrow morning. 😀
The only thing I hate about casserole: spending the next several hours digging bits of meat out from between your teeth.
Heehee. I’ve reformatted the 80GB HD in my G4 tower and put Mac OS 9 back on it, along with a bunch of old-school games. 😀 Marathon 1, 2, Infinity, Evil, and Tempus Irae. Descent 1, 2, and 3. WarCraft II. I might see if I can find my old SimCity Classic floppies, too. 😀
I’m playing through Descent 1 at the moment. 🙂 Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever actually finished it, heh…
Sweet!
I went down to the Mall this evening to get a haircut. (Short hair+goatee plus plus!). I’ve also pre-ordered Halo 2 (and the guy at EB said they’ve got about 400 preorders for it so far), and I’m buying a Sony-Ericsson T610 mobile phone! I’ve wanted to get a Bluetooth/iSync-compatible phone for a while now (ever since I got my PowerBook, really), and I’ve worked out this would be the cheapest method.
I’m on a $33/month plan at the moment with a Nokia 6100. I talked to the guys in the Optus shop, and they said the only options were to cancel my current plan (which would cost ~$450) and upgrade to the $45/month plan, which offers the T630. I’m not even using the $33/month, so that’d be silly.
The other option is to buy the T610 outright for ~$480, transfer my SIM card over from my 6100 to the T610 and continue on with the $33/month plan until it runs out towards the end of next year. After that, I’ll just be paying for what I use.
w00t!
Hahah, awesome…I just had a customer on the phone who said “I’m new to all this storing-digital-music-on-the-computer malarkey.”
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use that word outside of the E2 (or former E2) community. 🙂
w00t. The guy came this morning to put the remote central locking and engine immobiliser in. 🙂
He wasn’t quite finished before I had to go to work, though.
