BlogSitting at the desk in the hotel room where I'm staying during my ADO.net training I saw the white card exclaiming "Free High Speed Internet!" (which I'm consequently using). I have been using the connection for awhile now, but after reading these instructions I'm not sure I connected properly. Here are the instructions, as they appear on the card.
Instructions:
- Be configured for the L.A.N. Connection
- Have a Ethernet card for the L.A.N. Base
- Have a Cat. 5 Connection Cable (Cables are available at the front desk)
- Plug the Cat. 5 Cable into the orange jack
- Click on your computers internet link
On August 30th, 1969 the very first node of the ARPANet was brought online at the University of California, Los Angeles. October 1st the second host was brought online at the Stanford Research Center. October 29th the first login attempt was made which crashed both systems involved. The ARPANet evolved and was eventually used almost exclusively by educational institutuions until the gopher protocol began to attract more mainstream users. Of course the biggest development was the introduction of the World Wide Web interface which was the engine that allowed for AOL and script kiddies to come into existance. As you may or may not know, this server is powering the next generation of the internet, known as the
interweb. It's time to choose sides.
With the last post in the ITAE forums dated over a year ago,
Stavos decided to re-ignite them. Not satisfied with letting him have all the fun, I redirected the forums to the last re-launched version:
AtomicDetroit Forums. While nobody knows if they will be a success or failure (this time),
JOSEPH has already signed up, suggesting it has the support of FEMA and all other hurricane survivors. If you're reading this and have a site hosted on this server,
go here and rave about how awesome the service is. Gratuitious ravings will recieve future discounts.
Congratulations to
Joseph and Lavonne! I have heard word that FEMA not only spared the life of Joseph, but allowed him to propose to my former wife Lavonne. They are to be married in the turn lane outside their home in the near future. Unfortunately, the
hamster was unable to witness this event due to his untimely death several months before. However, the
bionicle toys indicated it was a very emotional event. Best of luck to the newly engaged couple!
My friend
JOSEPH, who recently survived Hurricane Charley has been having trouble getting aide from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Apparently he was not aware of the absolute power this organization wields. I calmly explained to him that they could easily re-task one of their WarMonGer satellites to vaporize him and everything he ever came into contact with. I suggested he try a more reserved approach such as kneeling down and reciting the pledge of allegiance to the organization before asking for assistance. He agreed to give it a try, and I hope they will forgive his previous complaint. He is a good friend, but if FEMA decides he is no longer a viable citizen I will have to bid him farewell, and will miss him dearly. With that, I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And to the organization, for which it stands, one group, to rule the world, with absolute and all encompasing power.
Today my fiance and I decided to
take a cruise through Hines Park on the motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle is awesome, but riding
with a passenger is even better. It's nice to share the freedom and have someone along to enjoy the ride, but it also makes other motorcyclists jealous, and that's the real reason I like having her along. We stopped
at a turnoff and saw another motorcyclist that trained his
dog to ride in the back. Then we drove the entire length of the park along with 50+ other bikers who had the same idea as us. A relaxing ride, aside from the sore butt syndrome.
Melissa bought her and myself radio control cars that fit on the end of a pen. How a pen and a radio control car could possibly relate to each other I don't know, but I do know it's fun to torture the cat with the
little cars. After awhile, he figured out they
could not hurt him and the entertainment value dropped, but not significantly. A cat chasing quarter sized RC cars just has an amusing quality all it's own.
For those of you holding out, you missed your chance. The house is SOLD as of today. Only a few more weeks till closing, then it's goodbye Redford, hello 6-car garage. I'll be calling on all friends to help move so if you have a bad back I'd recommend leaving town soon.
Almost four months ago, my
supercharger died on my
Cougar. After a long process of yelling on the phone and waiting for the replacement it finally arrived a week ago. Today I managed to assemble a crew and after waiting for a house inspection to get done, we
put it back in. We discovered a rotten battery cable assembly that had to be repaired first, then had to prevent my dad from going to jail (due to a conflict with the owner of my new home) which pushed the completion time back to late evening. The test run was successful, and I wept openly as the boost kicked in. Unfortunately it was discovered that the oil feed line had ruptured, and no parts store that carries it will be open till Monday. Thanks to
Stavos, Zalec and Jaged for the help.
After being
kidnapped by enorym, the mighty Joseph had to face the wrath of
hurricane Charley. After some initial play-by-play reporting, contact was lost with the former TJ Hooker TV series star, current condition unknown.
This photo was taken shortly before contact was lost. The evidence of a close hurricane combined with the lack of vodka does not lend itself to a high survivability rate, but our hopes are with the Joseph and his wife Lavonne. If anyone is near the left turn lane in Whorelando, FL and happen to see the toll booth in tact, please contact this concerned friend. WE LOVE YOU JOSEPH!
