Random tat

Finally, my new broadband came onstream. Yay to 8Mb wireless! Yay to blogging on the bog! T'is wizardry, you know.

If only I could get the 770 to talk nicely to it. Ah well, off to forum land. Meanwhile I shall guzzle content like a hog at a trough. On which note, the pincers of doom say a body fat of just under seventeen percent. I'm almost missing the easy control of space that being a gert huge fat bastard gives, but only almost.

Christ, but Youtube is good down a fat pipe.

Update, in the unlikely case you're curious: while poking around on the laptop, I found an Intel PRO network card setup utility, and as the wireless card was a PRO, I fired it up. It told me the channel the card works on and specified that it only knows WEP, and not WPA (which the Winders Wheeze-ard cheerfully let me set up). I set the router's channel accordingly, and the "Scan for networks" button in the utility found it immediately. I set up the WEP key, and bingo, surfing the intarwebs, no problem.

Stupid Windows wireless network setup wizard.
