I have finally given in and ordered a network extender, because the patchy coverage in the kitchen is intolerable. The worst spot, where the network is largely dead, is the kitchen table. We cannot figure it out, but if you move even a foot away from the table, there is a (weak) signal. At the table? Most of the time ( Read more... )

I ended up taking a sick day yesterday, because this cold refuses to go away. Today I still feel like crap, but I'm at work because we have air conditioning and I'm hoping it will help my poor, asthmatic, drowning lungs.
