Can I get my geek certificate now?

[mysteriousaliways]

I haz wireless Internet!

Or to be precise, Lyle the Laptop has wireless Internet. Got the Wii connected up as well. Creaky old Pc's Ethernet port doesn't have any drivers (I think they got stuffed along with the sound drivers during my last few attempts at rebuilding it to get it to work) so doesn't work with the wireless router.

Still, I'm not too bothered - just means we have to swop cables around and use the old modem to get net access from the old PC.

I'm looking forward to being able to play with Lyle in the bedroom, or even the kitchen ;)
*bounces*
That is, if I can drag him out of the clutches of my daughter, who spent most of the evening in our room on MSN with her friends.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

And I only had to power down the router and the modem to get internet working again this morning. oy

It's such a pain when the internet goes down - I feel so deprived and cut off!

[melissa2u.livejournal.com]

Me too! As if the world's moving on without me.

You named your laptop Lyle?????? *snorts* Awesome! I bet you'll have loits of fun with him in the bedroom... *g*

There was a brief period when he might have been called Antoine, but I plumped for Lyle.
I really am going to have to load up some Lyle icons now, aren't I? *g*

Yay! Geek certificate in the post *g*.

And Lyle's a great name for your laptop!

I shall have it framed *nods*

*g* he just seemed like a Lyle somehow :)

Cheeky, flirty and prone to blowing things up?

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly :) Although hopefully he won't blow up his own operating system or anything essential ...
