Lazy Sunday

Yesterday I discovered when trying to connect Kerri's new laptop to my wireless network that not only had I forgotten my network key, but the admin password on the router needed to set a new one.

So about an hour of today was taken up with finding out how to reset it - stick a paperclip in a hole on the side, and then what numbers I needed to put into the configuration fields once it was reset. Had to go to dialup to find a lot of this stuff out, because I couldn't get into the admin screens on the router to find out what info I needed until after I'd reset it and thereby killed my internet.

Eventually got it all worked out. And I wrote down the password and key.

So Kerri now has wireless internet access on her Libretto. She is very pleased with her little toy - if she wants to surf the net she can do so on her own computer without coming down into my cluttered kingdom. She can also do email, which will be handy because her father sends about a tonne of jokes a week and I can't forward them to her via her work firewall.

Did my run in about three hours. I'm getting very efficient now. A pleasant afternoon - clear and sunny and warm. And it was Wistful Dragon's birthday and a birthday book went by.

I thought about my novel and decided that it needed to be told from two viewpoints, which I will call night and day.

Must go now. Kerri's cooking up trout fillets and the smell is wafting through the house. A proper sit-down meal with wine glasses.

Been there, done that... the router password and paperclip trick - and the writing down afterwards... You live and learn, right? :-)

Perhapsm I wrote it down in a safe place the first time. And then lost the place.

I made sure I wrote it down this time in a place where I couldn't lose it.

And ours is barely off the ground!

But I think you've just given me an idea for what to make for supper!

I admit you have me curious with all this talk of your next novel. Although I shall be the first to confess that I have already been pondering what I'll be working on for this years NaNo.

I like the idea of calling the two viewpoints night and day. Very intriguing.
