The wireless connection in my house was getting a little wiggy the last few days. I just figured it had something to do with the wireless router or the DSL line itself. By late Thursday morning, I couldn’t get e-mail or access the web. I figured, I’d just deal with it on Friday or Saturday when I got back from Pittsburgh. No time on Thursday. Even saved a couple posts to put them out later.

Got to Pittsburgh a little later than I wanted — no Penn Pilsner for me — so went straight to Fan Fest. Afterwards, went to my friend Pat’s and we hit a few bars on the South Side.
This morning, after shaving the hair off of my tongue, I went down the street to Beehive to glom onto their free wireless and average coffee. To my frustration, I discovered the problem with the connection was with my computer. Spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my wireless network adapter. Not very easy when you can’t actually get on the internet to try and find information or new drivers.

Finally gave up, and figured I’d look for info when I was home on the wired computer.

I was doing that, and turned on the laptop to make sure of the particular adapter I had to see what there was. Lo and behold, the damn thing is now working fine. This is actually worse to me because it means it could go on me without warning again. Intermittent problems are much more frustrating to me.

I’ll post about Fan Fest and some pictures later.
