End of the Day
Posted on December 17th, 2008 No commentsIt is getting close to the end of my day. I just returned from the church security detail. It was cold outside tonight and I did not have my heavy coat. It was still wet from snow blowing this AM.
The driveway is clear of deep snow. So is the drive down to the building. We are expecting much more snow tomorrow night – up to 5 inches and later on Saturday and Sunday. Boy, we sure getting blasted this winter.

Snow, Cold, Routers and Internet
Posted on December 17th, 2008 No commentsI have a cold. It started coming on yesterday afternoon. Last night my nose was stuffed up so I could not sleep well. I was up at 0400. I tried to access the Internet but could not so I went up to look at the modem – the 2 solid 1 blinking was present. In vain, I tried resetting the modem but I knew it would not help so I called Mediacom. They said the Angola area was under service and would be back on by 6 or 7. In fact it came back on at 0500.
I look out on at least three inches of snow. There is supposed to be freezing drizzle until 1000 hrs and after that just plain overcast and depressing. I gave up on the Wireless addition to the household. I thought I could do almost everything with networks but this one has me stumped. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. When it works it works great but when it doesn’t I can see the whole LAN perfect but not the Internet. I tried opening ports, using static IP’s, using different WLAN cards. It works until I shut it down and on reboot the WLAN does not see the Internet.
