Garrett is moving into his new place, and today the retarded Comcast guy came out to install the cable internet. That worked fine… But his speeds were slow with the old beater cable modem. We went out and bought a new cable modem and a PCI wireless card to use with his existing wireless router. The new cable modem more than doubled his speed. Brought it right up to almost exactly the bandwidth he is paying for.
The wireless card, on the other hand, was 3 hours of research, installing, uninstalling and other troubleshooting. Finally started digging through forums and I found that 7483921 other people were having the same problem I happened to get, and the solution for most of them was to get a different brand card. Ick. The card apparently works great for the rest of the world.
Also, bonus photos of my car turning 25000 miles today, Garrett’s girlfriend looking bored and a mouse on Garrett’s hiptop.
