Tomorrow she will have been up for 7 days and by that time she will have close to (or more than - who knows) 200,000 hits. She found something to write about that the whole internet will latch onto and not let go [...]

My Home Network, Part II

July 26th, 2007 · No Comments

The last update on my home network had seen new and improved routing; I am still feeling the benefits of that change and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to bring their LAN up to the next level. I have made some tweaks to the network since then which represent a change [...]

I feel like I’m a little late to the party on this one but at least in Chicago it seems like it is just catching on. I recently moved into the city, and not only that I moved into a section I knew [...]

AGLOCO Update

July 6th, 2007 · No Comments
