Finally getting around to removing all the old crap I had on my Windows desktop from my previous place of employment. Upon removing the various VPN pieces, it would appear that it’s left my desktop computer unable to connect to any network. Whee. Gotta love those invasive pieces of corporate shit.

My blogging is somewhat curtailed, recently: I’ve changed jobs (which I’ve resisted blogging about for the most part), moved to another state, and have lost a few loved ones in the past year.

Generally, I have an aversion to buying laptops that aren’t fully loaded, but I really wanted a nice, portable machine. The MacBook was the right machine at the right price.

As I am wont to do on vacation days every other year, I decided to replace my router, a D-Link 624 Wireless G, with a new-fangled "pre-N" router. So I dropped by one of the evil chain stores after doing my research.

I don’t jump into new things without checking them out. I downloaded the product [...]
