I ordered one of the new AirPort Extremes earlier this week, and it arrived yesterday… holy crap having wireless speeds the same as 100BaseT ethernet is awesome. 😀 It was an absolute cinch to set up, too… I ran through configuring it all at work, put it into bridging mode (since I’m still using my existing network as well, I don’t need it doing any routing), plugged it in when I got home, and BOOM. Über speeds.

My parents are using my old PowerBook, so I’ve got two wireless networks… the 802.11g one from the old AirPort setup, and the new Extreme is set to 5GHz 802.11n-only mode for just my MacBook Pro. Works very nicely. 🙂

Looks like my daugher will be a rocking child, satanic_angel… first of May tomorrow and she’s still not here! 😉

Man… “my daughter”. Never thought I’d be saying that. I like it, though. 🙂 And I’m pleased it’s a girl rather than a boy. No idea why.

And on a totally different subject, I bought Guitar Hero II yesterday. And even this has reminded me that I have no musical talent whatsoever… I cannot keep time to save my life. I’m trying to either tap my foot or count “1, 2, 3, 4” in my head at a constant rate, and whenever the guitar starts differing from that, so does either the tapping or the counting. Gah!

(The new machine is the one to the left of the white MacBook ;)).

😀

Hurrah for background music at work!

So, I’ve caved in and ordered a new laptop! I figure I should get all of my big purchases out of the way before I move out.

That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it. 😛

Wow. I was looking through my iTunes library at the “Last Played” dates… there’s a few songs in there I haven’t listened to since the end of 2002! And a bunch more from 2003.

With ~7000 songs in my library I guess it’s hardly surprising that there’s songs I haven’t listened to for that long, but it still amazes me.
