i want a geekport on my next machine
been awhile since i’ve posted anything. been somewhat hectic at work, even though i’m only peripherally involved. osnews.com points out that beos lives. ebay didn’t turn up any beboxes, i wonder how many made it out the door before they stopped building hardware.
extreme rocking
celeste flipped her rocking chair over backward, this morning. recognizing her need to thrill-seek, i offered to convert it into a go-kart, with rubber tires, roll bars, an engine and steering wheel. she didn’t think it was funny.
big roof sticks
i picked up a pair of 15 dbi omni-directional antennas. one of them is destined for peet’s roof, the other for mine. with two 84mW radios, we should be able to build an ESS/extended service area using WDS or a layer 2 tunnel. tried talking nicole into a 6-foot mast to mount the antenna on, up on the crest…

WWW::ScreenScraper::UPS

reply from rangehoods.com
got an almost immediate (7AM, this morning) reply from rangehoods.com claiming that ups lost my hood. i’m trying to decipher ‘origin scan’ on the ups tracking page. i don’t know if this means that they just printed the label or if it was actually billed and printed at a ups location. i would have expected…
