I spent part of today trying to reconnect with the book. After an extended break from writing, I was beginning to feel a little guilty about neglecting my writing. The plan is to make substantial progress towards completion of a first draft by the end of the year. I also did some fiddling with computer stuff. I’ve been wondering why I always got crappy download speeds on torrent files. Today, I finally realized that I needed to open a few ports on my router. Holy crap, what a difference. My downloads are now, to borrow another regional dialect, wicked fast. Not sure why it took me so long to figure out something that should have been relatively simple.
And can I just say that having my TiVo hooked up to my wireless network is, like, really cool? I used Galleon to do a slide show of my Europe photos on the television and to play some of my iTunes playlists on the stereo. I love it when technology works the way it’s supposed to.
As stated many times, you are a NERD.
