Wireless revolution!

Well, I have used WiFi at VS Live in San Francisco last February, but other than a few minor runins with the technology that was the limit of my experience with it, until today.

My dad has been asking about 802.11b and 802.11g. He works for Boeing, and I guess they recommend using 802.11b for a home network if you want to connect to their VPN for work. I talked him into going with G, saying that for future upgrades to their home they may as well get the faster network now. Not that 802.11g won't be obsolete in three years, that never happens in this business right? ;) (as for it being obsolete, as I said, I don't have much experience with WiFi, so what I say is just me talking out of somewhere other than my mouth)

I brought the router home for them, hooked it up, and boom, everything works. I love sitting down here on their lower level and working on my laptop, no wires, no nothing. I went outside, got a strong signal just as well as inside. So, you may say, that's old news, but it's new to me!

I need to get my own place instead of all my toys so that I can outfit it with cool new toys such as WiFi! WiFi in my apartment right now wouldn't do much for me, but I bet a neighbor or two would like to jump on that bandwidth.

It's Christmas Eve, so Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone is safe, and has a white Christmas if that is what they wish for. I am here in Long Beach, hopefully it'll stay dry tomorrow, I think it's still raining right now.
