Home Hotspot

I got my home wireless LAN working at last ! We now have 2 laptops 1 desktop and a printer connected to the network and it is SOOO sweet !

Thanks to Joffry for all his help and patience and perserverance !

Equipment :
Netgear 54 MBit/s wireless access point
D-Link 8-port desktop switch
Gigaset USB stick 108 - to enable H's laptop to connect wirelessly
Cables
Cable connectors

Joffer also introduced me to Tribal Wars, and for that I curse him !!!

Next networking project is to connect the PS2 and the XBOX 360 to the LAN, and also to the home theater....

Happy 2007


Happy New Year to everyone who reads this BLOG - I wish you a great, adventure-filled year, with all the happiness and joy you deserve!

We brought the New Year in through quiet conversation shared with Mardia, Mireille & (new hubby) Errol and Andrew Grant, a work colleague of H's.

For celebrations that were more "out there", check out New Year's in NYC

Though it rained on New Year's Day, we still got Mig and Errol to take a short ride on our quads, and M was unexpectedly taken by them!

This year, I hope you will follow Supersuzy's new blog as she prepares for some changes in her working and living environment.

We too will be anticipating change; not the kind that just happens, but the kind that one creates - first designed, then executed, and with a bit of luck we will all be the better for it - if this sounds guarded, it is.
More later...

My challenge to you for 2007 - make a positive difference to someone's life this year - not by accident or chance, but by design....make a committment and deliver on that committment.

Happy New Year everybody!
