For those who are wondering, here’s the new Friday the 13th tattoo. Looks to be healing up nicely. I was a little worried because it spent much of yesterday dangling in the Delaware River and out in the sunlight, but there seems to be little ill effect.
I was out in the river because I was on my first tubing trip, with twelve pals. The water was shallow and calm, the sky was clear, and although there were a lot of lines to get to everything, it was still a great day.
Once I got home however, I found that something seems to have happened to knock out the wifi on the eeepc. I spent much of today trying to diagnose the problem, with no success. I can’t tell if it’s hardware or software. I tried enabling the wlan through the bios control panel, but it isn’t even showing up. The next step would seem to be a total system reinstall from my original system disks, but that would require an external dvd drive that I don’t have. After two years has the netbook bit the dust? I’m glad that I got the second generation that had the ethernet port enabled, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to post this right now. Problem is that most of what I do on it is dependent on wireless access, especially now that I’ve taken to running Jolicloud on it. More diagnosis tomorrow.
