I got up about 12.30. The heat woke me up.

fiddled around with the internet connection again, bloody thing keeps dropping out.

I decided to blog, I'm still mucking around with the connection.

The aircon guy I used to work for called me, can I setup foxtel for him, and he wants his webpage updated, and will I be doing the database I was going to build for them a while ago.

I said I would be there in an hour.

I think this wireless adapter is a dud. It will either get stuck "changing configuration" or it will connect, but no traffic will go across. I need to unplug it for a minute (and reboot to get it working again) before it will work.

When the dumb trial version of the NAT stuff I have exits, it seems to bugger up the WLAN connection.

I thought I would try using the dopey internet connection sharing thing.

I'm giving up. Umpteen reboots and still no good. I bought an Orinoco Gold card off a guy on irc the other day, if he's posted it, it should be getting here soon enough.

I can't win. I tried to change back to my isdn connection, and the dumb windows machine I have to use (because the crappy isdn interface card won't work in linux anymore) is crashing "unable to start OLEACC.dll" or something.

Press the "windows fix" button on the front of the case.

Except for the dopey firewall that doesn't seem to work, I'm back online. Oh, there's another firewall update. I'll wait 1/2 hour for this to download/install, and then the firewall will work for a couple of days before it breaks again.

Oops, time to go see that guy.
