router issues

My Netgear MR314 router is having a bit of trouble coming out of retirement. Things were fine when it was just my iBook on the network, but adding my G4 in seems to have caused some trouble in the mix. I’d appear to be on the Internet, but then I’d lose the connection with the cable modem. I just changed the wireless channel and we’ll see if that helps. In the next few days it will also be Eric’s PowerBook G4 (wireless) and the girl’s iMac so I better figure out what’s going on here. Any networking gurus reading my blog? Email/comment me, please.
hello, old friend

My G4 is up and running in my new office and downloading about 100mb of Apple software updates as I type. A lot has changed in the 2 months since I last boot it up.
The moving men have come and gone and all the furniture that needs to be upstairs is there. Now we just have to spend the next 2 or 3 weeks living through the end of the construction and the next 2 or 3 years putting things away. 
good chair. good deal.

I went searching for information about my chair online because I couldn’t figure out which button adjusted the back. I turned it over and searched for a brand name and model number. I had no idea what I bought, I just sat in chairs at the used office furniture store and purchased the one that I liked the best that was within my price range ($150 or less). It turns out it’s a Global Industries Malaga High Back Chair with Multi Tilt.
I paid $149 for it. Well, if I purchased the chair new it would have been $486!! I did find another site that had it for $404, but still. I rarely find that I’ve stumbled into a good deal. It’s usually the other way, where I spend $300 for something I could have gotten for $79.95 if I knew what I was doing. It’s in perfect shape other than a slight scuff mark on the back and a tiny stain at the edge. Every bar and lever (and there are quite a few of them) work as they are supposed to. It’s also a lime-green color that I’d never actually pick out but I can deal with it. Maybe I’ll get lime green curtains for my office. Or maybe not. 
The hard part is going to be getting out of this wonderful chair to go clean off furniture and get to work in the house as I should be doing.
mental note to myself

Get a chair mat. Nice ergonomic chair and carpet don’t mix. Or roll.
Sleepless on Saturday

I don’t know what it is or why, but for some reason I just can’t seem to sleep on Saturday mornings. This is the *3rd* Saturday in a row that I have found myself wide awake before 4 am. It doesn’t seem to matter how late I go to bed Friday night. The last two Saturday mornings I got up and went to the Holiday Inn for the wifi. Today I’m here at my house. It’s 5:25 am and in about 2.5 hours Mike’s friends are going to come over and help move furniture up to the bedrooms. We notified the hotel that we’re checking out tomorrow. Yippeee!!
