I know why my laptop got delayed.

With the big rash of sony battery recalls recently, I decided to see if my laptop was affected, and low and behold, this press release said that it is.

Now I get to wait for it.

A new router has been ordered and shipped. I'm trying to figure out if it'll arrive today or monday.

Continued delays and other things.

The laptop is delayed due to supplier issues and may not be here until next week (which will be a pain in the ass). At least I know.

A friend of mine asked me to download a series for him. It's progressing and will probably be done by the end of the week.

The router still hasn't been replaced yet, and that will be next week as well, since it costs over $100 to get and I don't have the money yet.

Money's still tight for paying the bills too, so that complicates matters further.

At least I can still get the second wireless antenna for my laptop.

Continuing to wait.

I've got the following things I'm waiting for:
  1. New router to replace this sub-standard one that I got as a holdover.
  2. New laptop that I ordered a week ago friday.
Luckily, the first one won't have to wait more than another week. The second, however, I have no control over.

Big mess going on.

Ok, rundown.
  1. The laptop which was supposed to ship friday didn't. I don't know when it will.
  2. The router we got to replace the WRT54G v1 was a WRT54G v5 and is not performing well at all. I don't have the money available to replace it with a real router (read: WRT54GL)
I hate this. It's annoying as all hell.

Oh and my dwarf in our D&D campaign is gonna die fast.

Router hell.

Yesterday my WRT54G version 1 died.
Power supply issue.

We got a WRT54G version 5 to replace it. I've overloaded it twice in the past 24 hours.

I'm looking into replacing it with a WRT54GL but don't have the money (yet). I'll keep the v5 and use it as a wireless access point or something similar.

There's another $100 down the tubes. Good thing I have money coming in.
