A quiet, cold, and beautiful Saturday morning unfolding here in California. I stood in the bedroom for a while and watched the sun rise start. It looks like it is going to be a clear and blue day, with a brilliant sun.
Comcast came in yesterday morning and installed my cable modem (and phone). The installation went smoothly, though I ran into some problems trying to get my wireless-N router to work (it was a D-Link). Finally, after two hours of careful trouble-shooting, I narrowed the problem down to a hardware problem with the device itself, so it will be going back to the electronics store today. I popped down and picked up a Linksys and it was up and running within about twenty minutes.
The cable modem is nice. The speeds are pretty impressive, and I spent part of yesterday watching a variety of streaming videos simply because they streamed so nicely.
Last night I dreamed of house cleaning and computer cleaning, so I am going to take that as a sign to do neither today! (Gee, isn't it nice when signs are so convenient!). Seriously though, I have done a lot of house cleaning and a lot of computer futzing in the last couple of days, and I think my subconscious last night was telling me to set that aside for a while.
So, my plan today is pretty straight-forward. I am going to meet some of "the guys" for breakfast at the Hickory Pit in Campbell, then I am going to stop at Fry's and return the back D-Link modem. Then, from there, I may do a bit of wandering. If the day turns out as nice as I suspect it is going to be, I am going to try and spend a little time doing some park wandering, basic "get out and go" kind of stuff. Then, I may shoot some pool. I was also thinking about catching a movie, but I am not really sure if there is anything playing this weekend that is interesting to me. In short, I am hoping to have a very ordinary day.
