HamHam surprise

Around 3:30 this afternoon, as the Dish Network guy was loading his tools back into his van, my wife gleefully grabbed the remote and turned to the Cartoon Network. "YAY! HAMTARO!" she said, eyes alight with glee.

She settled back into the grey slouchy chair and announced, "my work here is done. I'm done moving. I have TV again."

Somehow, I don't think she understands that she exists for reasons other than Hamtaro. Ah, well. Such is life. I did manage to convince her to go buy some CAT5, though she opted for buying long lengths, rather than picking up a spool and crimpers and ends. She promises she'll tack it to the walls, but I suspect she's just going to run it straight through the doorways, from the router to my computer. Ahem. This will not do.

802.11g? If you want it to be REAL secure, Cisco makes some nice solutions (but horribly expensive).

Then again, an entire spool of CAT5 isn't exactly cheap either...and ends are quite the expensive crappy little things. :(

802.11g? I don't know, actually. Jocelyn's responsible for hardware, I'm all software. Hopefully now that we've got our own little network going in here, I'll learn some of this stuff.
