Done yesterday (20111110 Th)

A good, long walk, music, and signs of progress in The Case of the Unfortunate Boyfriend (henceforth tCotUBF :) sort of made up for the fact that I spent almost the entire damned day fighting with WiFi. I don't get it. It used to Just Work, but after upgrades to Squeeze and Oneiric my work laptop and home netbook seem to have trouble with some, but not all, access points. Including the one here at the Starport, unfortunately. Driver problems?

Fortunately, it seems to be ok with the WAP on my DSL modem, and has no trouble at all with a wired connection, so it's still usable. But annoying, and a waste of time. When I get home from Orycon I'm going to try dropping back to an earlier version. And look for alternative drivers.

Did I mention Orycon? Colleen and I will be up there this afternoon through Monday.

Some links. Check out naamah_darling's "Pricing Handmade Goods".

Have a good time at Orycon!

Normally I'd drop in - it's not that far - and see who I could run into. But I think not this year, alas. :)

Progress is a good thing. It could be a real simple process. Have fun at the Con.

One can hope. Thanks.
