there has not been a dovka in more than two weeks.
And for that, we are sorry.
Notes:
1. fon is a brilliant idea, right in line with my socialist tendencies, but the fonera router is a piece of trash. It won't connect to Googletalk, or check Gmail via POP. I also can't attach to my work VPN through it, and the private wifi signal won't ever give me an IP address. So now I just keep it plugged in, so on the off chance anyone ends up in the middle of nowhere near me, they can connect all they want.
2. DECT makes for a better home phone than 2.4ghz ever did.
3. I'm clearly a network nerd, which you should all know by now, since I just rewired my home network to fit in the unused portion of a bookshelf. Well, in the empty space under it, really. Although now I'm thinking it would be neat to get some short rack rails and actually fit it into the shelf.
4. Getting Amazon Secret Santa gifts in April is actually a pleasant experience, and Porco Rosso is excellent.
5. I bought a 32" LCD TV today. I'll let you know how that is when it arrives in 7-10 days.
6. Goodnight!

comments
We love comments at dovka. In fact, we take these comments and put them into a big stew. They're so full of internetty goodness that they keep us full up until lunchtime.
Can't believe FON ended up being a bit crap - it's a great idea that I was looking forward to using.
Yeah, we are winners!
