"Only I wasn't steering anything, not even myself. I just bumped from my hotel to work and to parties and from parties to my hotel and back to work like a numb trolleybus. ... I felt
very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

"On the surface, it sounds irresponsible, but to flourish in a rapidly changing world, you actually need to make more mistakes. Fail quickly. Fail often. If you do something and it
doesn't work, just recover in a hurry and try something else. ... Help develop a culture that is willing to fail its way to the future."
-- Price Pritchett, Culture Shift |

"There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction -- every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and that excitement at about a million miles an hour."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

| Monday, June 22, 2009 |
Is anyone in the viewing audience familiar with Netbooks? Because I got one on Friday and I've been trying it out as much as I can. When I'm not otherwise occupied, I will write up a full review with my thoughts and experiences so far, but I have to say that up to this point, I'm pretty happy with it.
As a preview, I do plan on upgrading the RAM to 2 gigs and setting up a wireless router for it in my apartment, because I'm just not crazy about the idea of using the unsecured connection that manages to graze my building in the evenings.
In the meantime, does anyone have any thoughts or tips regarding wireless routers/networks, or netbooks/laptops in general? I have never owned any of the above in my life, so if there are any common pitfalls to avoid, I'd love to hear about them.

I bought mine about a year ago. As for the router, make sure you disable broadcast of your SSID, so other people can't leech off of your signal.
