I'm actually writing this post from two different computers at once.

You see, I set up a wireless network yesterday. I had had a wireless network up before but the school wanted the router back (boooooo to Indian giving!). But now I have my own wireless router, the excellent, albeit slow (11Mbps vs. the usual 54) ParkerVision WR1500. And it's much, MUCH longer-range than the old Linksys router I had (and is now being used in the upper school classroom), reaching out to the end of our fairly-long driveway and thoroughly covering our L-shaped house, even though it's on an end of the L, in the garage. I have the family's three desktop computers (a media center, a server and an old Word\e-mail PC for my parents) hooked in to the network via good ole cabline, but my laptop, which I'm typing this post on...well, sort of...is wirelessly connected.

But the plot thickens! Searching for a way to do Remote Desktop to the server in the garage from my laptop (to tell it to zip backups and suchlike) I found it quite easy to turn on remote desktop on the two WIndows XP-equipped computers in the house...and even easier to access them with my Windows Vista-equipped laptop! Fun, fun, fun in the sun! I can also access the Windows 2000 server, but the connection is really bad...I'll probably upgrade that box to Windows XP soon.

Anywa, so I'm actually using all the computing resources of my media center PC, including its dialup connection, over a hi-fi wi-fi connection, banging away at my laptop's keyboard. Sweet, huh? Thought so.

Well, have to get back to my homework now. I finished eighteen pages of Spiritual Classics so fast I'm not sure whether I read the whole thing or accidentally skipped some paged. But nonetheless I have the main idea (actions speak louder than words in telling who is of God's kingdom and who isn't, plus a few other things that I don't have enough time to type about) so in any case I'm good. Now to remember it until three weeks from now, when we have our next Spiritual Classics class. And now to work on reading and narrating the Red Badge of Courage...then to Calculus...but first to the homework that isn't due tomorrow :)

Edit: I'm halfway through the Red Badge of Courage...but it looks like my math homework will have to be postponed...again...until the morning...perhaps later...ahh, such is life.
