winterbadgerNot much to tell here, other than that I've spent the time since I got home this evening (and some around 4 this morning when I couldn't sleep) checking to see if there were spyware or viruses on my machine that could account for a sudden drop in bandwidth, finding there weren't, wondering about neighboring wireless users stealing bwidth, and installing WEP encryption on our WAP and setting all four of our computers with the new keys. Magically, the bandwidth is back and all the computers seem to be working OK. :-) I may also have found a signal-boosting option as well that may help the remote PCs work a little faster. Still one more trick up my sleeve there.
Poor N is still in the clutches of the evil Duc d'Influenza; she was very sweet and called me this afternoon, just to let me know all was as well as could be expected and that she lacked for nothing. I don't know how I can miss her this much when I saw her just yesterday morning, but I do. It's awful! (insert self-mocking smile) I'll live though; I'm not the one who's sick, after all (though this afternoon has seen the arrival of a sinisterly unwelcome sore throat...) She, poor dear, is trying hard not to panic about how much work she's missing. Gosh I hate it when someone I love is sick and there's *nothing* I can do to help except not pester them while they're trying to rest and do my best to be entertaining and cheer them up when I do have a chance to talk. Just got to keep concentrating on how much fun we had over the weekend before the duc's arrival and what lovely times we'll have when he (and his evil minions, if I'm correct in suspecting their presence) have been driven off.
Peter wasn't able to make it over this evening, but we agreed we're going to try to join the Mordheim campaign that the Ironfist League is putting on. Sort of a small-scale tabletop game; each player runs a band of adventurers looking for treasure in a ruined city of the Empire (a psuedo-HREish Reformation-era fantasy kingdom).

(she who thinks this is funny, because our system preferences used to be the reverse.)

The good thing about Macs is that they're such a small market that hackers pay little attention to them and bandwidth thieves can't interface with them as well; the bad news about Macs is that they're such a small market that many software producers (other than the largest companies) don't write for them either.
