Current Status of my World

I have been at home for 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 41 seconds. Before that, I was prowling the concrete wilderness.

I'm not Addicted to my Computer(s)

/tech/ @ 21:38 on Tue, 2003-11-25

I'm presently sitting in the Trident Cafe with Allyson connected via the free wireless connection here. Allyson didn't bring a computer, so we have to share µ's net connection. I also forgot my cellphone at home, so I can't go online with my Palm. What do I do? I set up a ppp connection over bluetooth from my palm to my laptop and do NAT to get it online. I've a caching DNS server running on µ that serves anything that connects to it via NAT.

Internet gateway → Trident ISP --802.11a→ Airport --802.11b→ µ --PPP over bluetooth→ Palm

And the best part is that it's all wireless and it works. I ♥ wireless.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
