You have to be careful with toasters. They're temperamental sometimes.

Today I brought the toaster, the coffee machine, and stuff to pop corn. I forgot the cutting board again. Doh!

The plan for tomorrow is to pack up and clean whilst doing laundry at the apartment.

My plan for tomorrow: Sleep in. Write. Design a major portion of the team programming project.

Sigh. I'm hoping for a phonecall from galpals in an hour or so, but... yet another stupid Friday night and weekend. I am almost but not quite ready to Take Steps here.

I'm watching a basketball game on the web tonight. Video sure runs a lot smoother with cable internet.

Heh, I would imagine that's so! I can't imagine trying to watch tv on dial-up...

I reinstalled my download client so I can start getting anime again... and I really wish Amazing Race was on now. Guess I have to wait until spring for a new season.

Heh...tried that last week. I got a still picture about once every 30 seconds but the audio was fine.

Yup, sounds about right. Sound is easy, pretty pictures take bandwidth...

We're sitting down to have pizza and watch Shrek 2.

I didn't get out of the office until 6:30. I'll check in after this is over.

Okay...now that I have the cable internet, what's the best buy on wireless networking equipment?

Look around. Sometimes you can get one for $40 in the stores. Some of my friends who buy from bargain sites online have found them for $30 or so. - That's for the router. The network cards are actually more expensive. But the ones that attach to usb slots rather than network adapter spots are usually cheaper.

I'd go for stuff that's compliant with the 801.11G standard rather than just the .11B standard

Well, that's good news... I don't like basketball because of how the shoes squeak. And also how high the scores get. I like games like baseball where 4-2 is a perfectly normal score.

I only look at the point spread anyway.

You might have liked that time when Dean Smith ran the 4 corners offense at Dook for the whole first half. The score was something like 7 to 4 at half-time.
