TiVolution, My Ass
Well, that could have gone better. It's apparently pretty much impossible to get spools of CAT-5 cable in a smallish city after 6pm on Sunday. Good thing there wasn't some sort of life-or-death networking emergency. It's probably for the best, though, as my friend and co-worker Johnny took the opportunity to talk me into just going wireless. So I trundled out today and bought an 802.11g D-Link wireless router, and a cute little Belkin 802.11g wireless USB adapter, which resembles a small radio antenna of sorts.
TiVo doesn't support 802.11g wireless. Damn.
So I'll take the adapter back tomorrow, I guess, and get one running 802.11b. Damn you TiVo, for your backwards ways.
On a good note, though, I also bought a new digital camera today, a Kodak DX4530, as my old Hewlitt Packard has apparently gone to that great memory card in the sky. I'm quite enamoured of the new one. It's easy to use, not cumbersome at all, and appears to be 5.0 megapixels of pure sex.
And here is my car, which I have conveniently shrunken down and painted blue, before placing it on my monitor.
I also got a new mobile phone, which I'm quite fond of so far, although I haven't actually, you know, talked to anyone on it. However, it does have a little camera as well. In fact, here's my new digital camera, as well as proof that I am not a housekeeper.
Obviously, there's a little difference in the picture quality, which is to be expected. I'd like to see the Kodak get free long distance, though. The real bonus is that it's pretty small, which is mainly what I wanted in a phone. Carrying around my previous sizeable one was not really an option when I'm on call and have that phone as well. The camera will be fun for spur-of-the-moment action shots, though. Say, for instance, I set Office Max on fire for selling me the wrong wireless protocol.
