Springtime, the Wisteria is Blooming

The wisteria has gone wild this year. It's inspiring to see all the plants wake up and do their thing. I've awakened...sorta'. Am working on the beach house network. Have upgraded several aspects of the Teamspeak Web Server and pursuing an elusive SCSI card for the Alienware Server. May just convert the Alienware to a 7200rpm IDE drive. Actually played Guild Wars a few nights ago and we had a good group. It was GREAT and all the laughter and joking on Teamspeak really enhance the fun. So nice to have Eli back in the game. He's recovering from surgery and was in good spirits the other night as we gamed.

Expanding my wifi coverage to include the shop. Thanks out to the Trombone Man for the AP600 as well as the AP2000 that has been working for several months. Gosh those things are hard to configure, but they certainly do a good job when working properly. I did find a backup VPN hardware firewalled router for the front end of the network. Since we are doing okay with the present config, that is a back burner job for now.

Next beach house project is the Opteron Dual Core machine. It will be the lead gaming machine and workstation running Windows Vista Ultimate. Hope to make headway this weekend. Things are coming together. The beach house is beginning to take shape slowly but surely. Next the garage and patio. Shucks it's springtime. We should be out there instead of cooped up. Love this time of year. So nice to sleep with windows open and fans circulating. My paranoia still keeps Ruger in bed with me, LOL.

So much for current trivial events. Big day tomorrow and have to remote some stuff for several hours this weekend. Note to Beagle: Am liking Twitter. Stay safe.
