eighty-fifth

Lazing on a Sunday afternoon, for me.

I came back from J's earlier today to discover that I couldn't connect whatsoever to the wireless network in my house.  After making a few inquiries with my housemates, it was discovered that our signal was being broadcast now as a G-only network instead of the Mixed signal that it was outputting before.
Through a quick inspection of my system, I discovered that the wireless adapter I've been using over the last two years was actually a 108.11b adapter (for those of you unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, B is a different letter than G - and G is what I needed).

One thing led to another, though, and I'm sitting here with a behemoth of a Netgear wireless adapter now pushing and pulling the bits floating through the air in my house into and out of my computer.  Unfortunately, this blasphemously wonderful little device set me back a cool $100.

Looks like I'm going to have to spend the next couple paychecks paying penance for this grievous lapse in judgment.
Oh well.
