Tim is off to Germany. I took him to the airport at 5am this morning, and then went to work. And no, I wasn't the first person there. This means to me I can clean the house up and random socks won't start appearing in odd locations, and paperwork won't scatter to cover any flat surface available.

In unrelated news, Tim's new WRT54GL router arrived today. This made me happy, as my old wifi router wasn't handling the wifi part worth a hill of beans... think 2400 baud speeds. So this evening after worship practice, first I went to help Steve setup his WRT54GL which I had advised him to buy, and mess with the wireless card (I was a little unimpressed with Linksys's wifi software - and when I tried to have it use the Windows configuration tool it barfed). After getting them going and some friendly conversation, I returned home to reconfigure the LAN. Note that earlier this week I replaced the tiny 40mm fan in my gigabit router, and I was awaiting the wifi router's arrival to swap things back. So now Typhoon is gloriously hooked up via gigabit ethernet, which only I can enjoy at the moment... and the WRT54GL is happily allowing mr. laptop to talk on the network at speeds approaching 20mbps. I am pleased.
