and so it goes part II

bitsy kind of day today. Got up lateish (like 9am), finished off a couple of upgrades to the rebuilt laptop, wrote up some ideas for projects, surfed a little, did dishes and started laundry. Then my lovely bride awoke and we headed over to the parents-in-law to water the garden (have I mentioned its been hot here lately?), then had lunch at Backyard Burgers (mmmmm!), hit Home Depot for a fertiliser spreader (the grass is looking ill), BB&B for a study table and pillow for my lovely bride, now we're at home, the laundry is done and the trash is out, and all we're waiting for is for the sun to start going down so we can water and get the fertiliser out onto the lawn. Yay for domesticity. I've also been pondering the network-at-home question thats been bugging me. Once we have the bills paid we have a bunch of $$ left over. It is time, I think, to put in not only wireless but also the firewall and Unix box ready to get the cable modem run. $#!@#@!!! SWBell and $!@###$!@$#!@#!@#!@##!@@#!!!! Sprint don't run DSL/ION out here, so I'm left with RoadRunner at the moment, although Earthlink is likely to be available sometime soon. Ew. Anyhow, plotting continues. Updates as the hardware purchasing continues.
