rusty0101's Journal: Random thoughts...

I updated the os on my Z this week. I like the fact that it goes to a "screensaver" when idle and plugged in, rather than powering off. It was a bit disconcerting the first couple of times I noticed it.

I did like the fact that my Socket Wifi card was recognized right off. I don't know however if I am going to be able to get kismet running again any time soon. Note that with Kismet I have been using my SMC wifi card (true implementation of the intersil prism2 interface). The problem is that the new rom seems to tie the drivers closer to the network interface. Can't seem to get Kismet to talk to the SMC card for some reason.

Having two dogs, and being interested in attending a convention for three/four days, it occured to me that I need to find a place to board them for the weekend. Using "Angie's List" http://www.angieslist.com/ I was able to find one less than a week before the convention. Next year I have to get my plans in order to reserve space at my prefered boarding place.

Have to figure out how to get pictures from my camera into my laptop. I don't think it will be a problem, however the first couple of attempts were unsuccessful. I should be able to attach the cammera directly however.

More to follow I am sure...
