larissa_j and elven_wolf for the virtual glasses! You guys are awesome XD Hooray geekery!!
Gah. California has been fun, but it is SUPER HOT!! *brain melty* I'm leaving for home tomorrow though. Good bye, heat!
Friday, I got to meet up withlilorphanannie, which was awesome. I guess she left on her fabulous European holiday today?
Today I met up withathenaktt and her friend Andrew, along with crushw_eyeliner's friend, Shar, for dim sum. Good times. :)
Been trying to fix Saff's router. I got everything working this morning (except file/print sharing, I have no idea what's up with that) and then when she tried it tonight, it was totally not working. So I went back and tried everything: unplugged, restarted, reconfigured, upgraded firmware. The router was showing that it was pulling an IP from the modem, but you couldn't get a connection. During one of my searching, I saw something about overheating. Well, yeah, the router was burning hot. So I grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge, wrapped it in a paper towel and threw it on top of the router. About 10-15 minutes later, the router felt cooler and the connection was working!
Now, I can't say definitely that's the fix, but I wasn't doing anything else that should have made a difference, so I'm inclined to say that a hot house + a router that has a crap heat sink = not good. There's an ice pack on top of it now. Heh.
