Can you hear me now?

Today I'm thankful for ...

... finding one little spot in the office that was able to connect to our wireless router. We've been having severe networking problems at the office with our wireless connections and because of that I've been holed up in the back part of the office where I could get a WiFi connection. But it's kinda lonely and dark back there. So I found a little spot near the wall today in the main room that I can use with a strong signal. After a little furniture rearranging I'm set up near one of the whiteboards.

Oh, and I also got to see The Boyfriend after a week of being away. Hugs are an awesome thing. Very awesome.

Today I'm thankful for ...

... Apple's Airport Express. Seriously. This is like the most awesome $100 I've ever spent. If you haven't ever seen it, it's part wireless router, part network audio sound card, part network printer hub, part wireless hub. I have been having problems with my old Linksys router---probably a configuration setup---and I was about ready to give up when I remembered I had the Airport Express. So I plugged the DSL modem into it and changed its mode to be a wireless router (all configurable by software) and it worked instantly! Yes, I have wireless back! I just have to move it to the main room where I can route the audio to the speakers...or maybe not. Maybe I'll route it to my stereo in my room?
