Hello Planet Mars, Come In Planet Mars

The lunatic is returning from the fringe. Have an awesome DLink WiFi router in place that is cooking! Many, many thanks to Mudslingr and Beagle. They even delivered it!! It's up and working like a champ. Good looking device too. You can click on the picture for a larger view then close it to return here. Mounted it vertically on the stand and it looks wayyy kewl. What an easy installation. Range and speed are awesome. What a wonderful gift. You guys touched my heart.

Last night I spent a few hours in Guild Wars and the frustration seemed to drip off me as the night went on - we crossed the North Wall in Pre-searing and slayed many Charr. Mudslingr and Hoppa are awesome players and can flat out do business across that wall. Mudslingr is in the throes of death leveling and keeping us posted. My money is on him to become the first Legendary Defender of Ascalon in our bunch. Several of us are trying, but this is a VERY hard title to obtain.

Also repaired another AP device on the bench. Oh yes, the TEAMSPEAK server is online and running better than ever. Tightened security a bit and adjusted port forwarding to more efficient settings. This service will go through a major transition in a few days as it is switched back to the Alienware server.

On the tech side Mudslingr brought my attention to an article published in Daily Finance. It's about the city of Los Angeles converting their system to GMail. The city council votes on it next week. I am still so glad to have participated in the Alpha phase of this wonderful email service engineered by Google. Hey, GMail is not only good it's the best email service from Earth to planet Mars!! On top of all this it's a freebie! Read more over at DailyFinance.com.

Many thanks out to Ashy and Verdana for the positive input yesterday. My whine factor had hit warp speed. Thanks to all of you for helping a frustrated man get all his sh-- in one sock. Man, what great family and what a great family of friends. God has truly blessed me.
