I’ve got a hard time here

September 21st, 2007 Leave a comment

    Yes, I do. First, I promised to update my blog more reg­u­larly, almost on a daily basis, and then I fail to deliver. It’s not my fault, really. My new router – a Linksys WRT350N – almost made me go berserk. It just stopped work­ing after a few days of reli­able oper­a­tion. Noth­ing I did made my wire­less net­work work­ing again. After a hefty 30 min­utes call with a guy from the sup­port line it still didn’t work. They sent me a new firmware (v2.00.13(04)) and … still noth­ing. Hell, I down­loaded and installed the newest dri­ver for the NIC and … still noth­ing. I tried to install only the dri­ver … noth­ing. More out of fancy than rea­son­ing I installed the newest ver­sion of the Linksys Mon­i­tor­ing Tool and … noth­ing. Of course, some­how it didn’t install the nec­es­sary ser­vice. After fix­ing that … it worked! Even faster than before. Let’s hope it stays that way.

    As far as my work is con­cerned: Last week we had to move our offices from one wing to the other, with only two days warn­ing. The move worked bet­ter than I antic­i­pated but there’s still some work to do. And then, there’s this blog I should work on (for instance, as Evil Spock sug­gested, there’s still no link sec­tion) before start­ing to blog for real. Well, I omit­ted my pri­vate life in which I was try­ing to buy and set up a HDD-Recorder for my girl­friend which turned out to be a rather nasty task. They sold us a device that doesn’t sup­port EPG although they told us so. Tomor­row we will hope­fully fin­ish this unpleas­ant busi­ness so that I can sleep well again.

    What’s the mean­ing of this? Well, if every­thing goes accord­ing to the plan, this site should see some improve­ments next week and I will be able to keep my promise. Sadly, over the last three weeks noth­ing seemed to respect the fact that I laid out a plan …

      You’re behind schedule!

      I should have you help me redesign my blog . . .

      I know, I know! To be frank, it’s a pain in the ass and I decided to blow it. I mean, what’s the use of hav­ing a blog if you don’t blog? So, for now I’ll write and I fin­ish – ha, as if there is some­thing like ‘fin­ished’ – the design later on.

      Hmm, are you try­ing to flat­ter me? I usu­ally don’t fall for it ;)
