The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

hehehehe...thanks.

Now it's playing in my head too.

"Ramius has the monkey" fit nicely in the keywords.

Well, no, not yet...

But I'm sure I will be...

Eventually... some time... maybe...

Your little wifi indicator in the systray doesn't know about the health of your DSL connection. If it is giving goofy indications, like changing colors and whatnot... then the first thing to look at is the wifi itself.

Lots of possibilities. If you have the ssid broadcast on, a neighbor might be stepping on your connection. Some home systems only get set up for *one* allocated DHCP address, and if somebody else like a neighbor grabs it... it plays hell with your system.

Are your DSL box and wireless box different boxes, or are they the same box? Either way... do you have an instruction sheet on how to access the admin functions on the wireless box? It might just be a username and password for access to the wifi box.

Because...


It's a small world after all.

< blank Stare >Huh?

*laughing*

If I double-click on the icon, I get the Belkin Wireless Monitor application. There are 3 profiles in the AP list.

linksys 41%
athome 39%
belkin54g 60%

Each has a % next to it which I assume represents the connection.

The Belkin54g is mine. My sister configured and turned on the encryption for me - but I don't know about the other 2.

It's strange. Usually I only see my Belkin and maybe "at home", but this "linksys" is new.

Oh. Should I look for a wav then?

Or should I start posting lyrics to catchy 80s tunes? :-D

I like 80s tunes....

In fact, just because you mentioned 80s tunes, my mental radio has clicked over to A-Ha's "Take on Me".
