okay, so it has been a long time since I’ve written anything. It’s also been a while since anyone has been able to access this page. See this post on Brightness Falls for a very quick explanation.

I was also in the process of moving. That was slow going, due in part to having Delaney’s first birthday party on Wednesday, 8/10, and moreso due to Cid being out here on vacation. We always tend to have far too much fun when given the chance. So there were a couple of recovery days in there.

Delaney’s birthday was a blast though. She spent the morning walking back and forth between her mommy and I. Walking had been an intermittent thing until her birthday, but she loves it and walks all over the place now. Quite the trip. Anyway, we had a bunch of people over to play with her and she got lots of new books and toys and such. She also had her first cupcake, which she enjoyed thoroughly. Once year, in the books. Amazing.

I have my new house hooked up completely wirelessly. I have wireless cards in all my machines, including the G4 tower. It was good thinking on Apple’s part ot add support into the towers as well as the laptops. The tower is only on 802b, but there’s not a ton of file transfer between machines, so I won’t be upgrading it any time soon. I also hooked up an Airport Express to the stereo in the living room, and I must say, it’s quite cool to be able to stream music from the computer room to the living room stereo wirelessly. It makes me want a couple more Airport Expresses so that I could have a set of speakers in the garage and one on the deck, all without any wiring. Awesome it is.

On a sad note, my Compaq Evo N115 shit the bed the other day. As soon as you plug the AC adapter into the laptop, the light on the adapter starts to flicker and the light on the laptop that is supposed to light up when there’s AC power never comes on. Damned Compaqs. Oh well, that machine was incredibly cheap and survived the whole ‘beer on the keyboard’ incident, so I figure I got my money’s worth. It was awesome to have a laptop in the living room for instant internet capabilities, so I guess I’ll have to start toting the PowerBook or the ThinkPad back and forth from work.
