It must be computer-fuck-up-week!
Last night I was battling the gnomes that live in my WiFi router….
Today it was the elves who manage my email. Two of my email accounts’ mail files corrupted. I couldnt open them from Pine (Unix client) or via SPOP3 as I usually do.
I had to use my Web-Mail to actually delete the leading/trailing emails and access the mailboxes. How weird!
The Flash for my digital camera came today…Achem, my $300 flash…. and the thing doesn’t work! I have to call Canon tomorrow morning. I hope it’s something stupid I’m overlooking.
Ohhh OOHHHhhh
My speedlight is on a truck on it’s way here!!!!!! They’ll attempt delivery sometime before 7pm tonight! W00t!
I hope that someone is here to sign for the package!!!
About 2:30 AM I decided… okay, I’ll quickly upgrade the firmware on my Wireless router.
About 5:00 AM I got the network back up and running after having to contact LinkSys support and talk to someone who barely spoke english on a Live chat session because I was too lazy to pick up the phone (not that that would have been any better)… Dunno what happened with the upgrade, but had to hard-reset then reconfigure the router. All is well though I need to add in the security options.
I’ll do that tomorrow.
Free WiFi access over here for all you wardrivers 🙂
I doubt that it will have any impact, but I urge the community to write letters to Comcast and G4 regarding their recent decision to fire the entire cast of Tech TV…. These people have worked hard to bring us the education and entertainment provided by TechTV and now it seems that everyone will be wrongfully looking for work.
