Well, we were going to have an Xbox night at my friend’s place last night, so I lugged my Xbox and all it’s associated shit over…and no-one else turned up. Fuckers.
So we drank alcohol and played co-op Halo until 5 in the morning. 🙂

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).
Whee! My Bluetooth (for the non-geeks of us, read that as “wireless” :)) keyboard is here. 😀
My never-ending war against cables moves up another notch!
Go team new hardware indeed! Ordered a Bluetooth keyboard and an AirPort Express today. 🙂 (Well…/re/-ordered the AirPort Express, really…my last order got lost, heh).
