About Yesterday
Get home to find out that while the Mrs. was balancing the checkbook, the computer caught on fire. I assessed the problem as a faulty power supply. Went out and bought a new power supply. Hooked it up, turned it on and the motherboard caught fire.
Said to Hell with fixing it. Went to Office Depot and bought a new laptop and a WiFi router. I’m blogging from the patio while enjoying an adult beverage.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together!

I want to know how you rigged up the computer to catch fire twice so your wife would let go out and buy all the cool stuff. 🙂
Welcome to the 21st century.

I’m jealous. There’ve plenty of sunny days here where I’ve wished I had a laptop machine to take outside and enjoy the nice weather while surfing/blogging.
Alas, new toys will have to wait for gainful employment.
BTW, I’m hoping to borrow a digicam and do a few gun pics — capital idea!

Holy cow…hope you were able to recover your data.

Yeah, me too. I got some client files on that PC. I need to plug the HD into another puter and see if I can pull the files onto a CD or something.

Congrats on the new setup.
Now go read http://www.arstechnica.com/paedia/w/wireless/security-1.html
and implement at least the basic security controls.
