The wireless part of our network suddenly stopped working. Presumably the router got damaged somehow. Our oldest in-use desktop computer decided to die at the same time. Naturally.
We set the old iBook up where the desktop used to be, plugged it in directly, and then tried to set up internet sharing, so I could still get the internet on my laptop but all I can get to work is web browsing, it won’t let me download mail or newsgroups.
I’m sure I’ll get it sorted out eventually.
Boyd wants to take this time to switch internet providers to something slower, and less expensive. (We’ve not got any kids enrolled in an internet school anymore, so we’ve lost our internet stipend.)
This means Boyd’s main email address will be changing shortly. I’ve only been using my ISP based address for a couple of things, so I won’t have nearly so many notifications to send out.
