No Longer a Paperweight

Work afforded some unique opportunities to keep busy today. I assembled a plastic wrap dispenser used along with a glorified hair dryer to shrink wrap books and things. When I got home I found the wireless router and PCI card came in the mail. My computer has been without internet access since July after lightning fried our cable modem and wired router.

The typical roller-coaster of emotions accompanied getting the thing to work, but I finally got it working pretty well. That being the case, this is the first post from my computer in five months. No longer will I be relegated to my parent's piece of crap and my computer is no longer a paperweight.

I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
