Wireless routing, Wednesday plans, family trip & censorship
No cicadas here yet, but they're imminent.
After asking in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
macosx about the Apple Airport Base Station Extreme vs. non-Apple wireless routers, I decided to try a less expensive option. If that doesn't work as well as I'd like (speed, connectivity, need for remote printing), well, I'm not out much, and I can choose a better path later. Thus, off to eBay, sorted by BuyItNow+cheap, and picked a D-Link DI-524 Wireless 802.11g Router (54Mbps, 4 ports). (This can replace the current hardwired router we're using to connect my laptop and Nathan's and my desktops, as it has four hardwired ports in addition to wireless.) I considered the D-Link DI-624 (108Mbps) for a few dollars more, but realized it only offers the higher LAN speed with certain D-Link devices.
Tomorrow night, I might be joining![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheshirrrecat and others at Dr. Dremo's Taphouse for pool, drinks, and camaraderie--haven't seen her since November at the most recent!
Thursday, I work half a day, then take a plane to Gulfport, MS. Friday, my cousin Logan's college graduation and family revelry. Saturday, New Orleans with family. Sunday, fly back here. Monday, I should get my bike's new headlight kit. :)
Fromvinz_klortho: How naive do these parents think high school students are? And do they not notice the overbearing irony in banning a book that focuses on book censorship? (They also claim that their protection of "moral decency" isn't censorship.)
