First off, I'd like to thank all those who've fanned me. I know it's fashionable to make posts saying "100 Subs :3" and such, but to me, 178 of you out there have done me a great honor by including me into your feed. I'm going to eventually get my Vault 101 newspost figured out and organized well - I still can't figure out how to make a link! Wait... Vault 101 Ooooh :|
Following up my last news post, I'm still living on my dead parent's farm, the prospective buyers requested an extentsion, which expired this past Friday, and I've heard -nothing- since, so the deal may be completely blown. It's expensive to live here, and I wasted plenty of dough getting ready to move to a cheap dive to figure out what kind of farm I could buy, after the sale went down and the check cleared.... Absolute waste of time and money so far. And my poor sister, who's been handling this, has been mortally diminished by the process.
Sooo, while I wait for those with more than me, I've got some things planned in the interim... I bought parts to a new PC, which was assembled by a homeless guy (he was over for his brithday yesterday; January 7th, 1955). Only problem is, the neighbor pays for my labor and materials by giving me access to her WiFi, and so far the only thing that's worked, is reflecting the signal from my upstairs window, onto a 13 year old turd with a broken monitor. Why? It's the only computer radio I've been able to manually tweak for latency and distance, as the signal comes from over 300 feet away...
Lately I've been having problems even connecting to the internet at all. A lot of the neighbors are on channel 11, so there's lot's of noise. I guess I'll keep buying (and returning) off the shelf, until I can find something I can use. It's likely I'll have to make a cantenna of some sort, blah... It's like when someone becomes a pot head, they go through a bong buiding phase :\ Eh, at least I have a few tripods, one of which could be used to aim the waveguide antenna.
Here's a pic of some of the vermin, who have me in their thrall. I think the black one in this picture was the last one to get hit and killed by a car, on Boxing Day no less... recently it had been traveling to a neighbor's house, to get some of the weed smoke vented from this one kids window; used to roll around and meow a lot, apparently. Late summer last year, the cat used to try and pick pumpkins with me in the field.... nah, that ain't the cat in the pic, that's the other one :\

Interesting page, the hard part will be finding that one perfect can.
You are definitively a cat la... i mean... a cat... na, nothing comes to mind that can save this comment XD, a cat lad?.

Even by pressing F5, the most CPU activity I've gotten so far, is well below 50% It seems to work great, and has a low, but tenacious hum about it, very quiet. Only thing I do not care for, is the glowing Corsair name and boat over the processor.
There's a 'formula' for diameter with regard to the stub/antenna in the can/tube...
I returned the router and got a dongle :| Best Buy doesn't even sell WiFi cards for a PC, however, the thingy I got seems to work as well as the 13 y/o laptop's wireless G. Still need to stick it in a tube though... so much for a decade of technological advances - only the prices have gone up.
Cat lad lol?! Nah, just a crazy person that tolerates vermin, aka cats.
