Communications
Oct. 11th, 2004 11:56 amMSN connectivity is down from my office this morning, so I decided to rummage around my alternate chat programs (Trillian, Gaim, etc). None of them appear to be working. AIM seems to be up, but only through its own program ... I suspect firewall woes. (MSN still isn't up though.)
The net result of this is that I've been reminded to update my profile with the various chat program informations. If you use AIM, MSN or Yahoo ... there I be.
(ETA: Ah, there is a server status page ... it's very much not just me. :)
In other news:batelf, I still have your comics - and we found another bag in a pile under the living room coffee table (Manhunter #1 et al). We must arrange a meeting. What you doing this weekend?

Am currently trying to configure windows home network. Cock shit god-damn motherfucker.
Have plugged Mum's PC into the cable TV box directly by way oflemony goodness a big fuck-off wire. Internet connection thence works fine (obviously). Whether it's possible to share this internet connection is up to debate, as Telewest have this one-MAC-address-at-a-time prejudice going, but I've not actually got to that stage yet. The stage I am at is one of trying to get my computer and hers to talk to one another via wireless witchery.
It will not happen.
I have set up the same network on both PCs, and there would appear to be connectivity - the helpful Windows connection properties thing says transmissions are being received (though the signal strength is medium-low, a consequence of being physically two floors away). I've set both computers to the same workgroup and such. But the one computer will not acknowledge the presence of the other. Browsing to "nearby computers" or whatever shows only the one from which one is browsing, which is at least a step up from refusing to accept that there were any computers in existence, anywhere, including itself.
I suspect it is some arcane secret involving turning them off and on in the correct order. That's what it usually is.
