“anyone who adopts a pseudonym loses a certain amount of street cred” [Daypop Top 40]

This guy is attempting tactics straight out of Orson Scott Card’s books. He even calls his weblog “Shadow of the Hegemon”. In the books, Peter Wiggin & his sister Valentine use the online pseudonyms Demosthenes & Locke to hide the fact that they were kids and ultimately change the course of history.

I posted a more detailed article about the Cisco Aironet 350 on MacMegasite. Wireless connection for older Macs.

UPDATE: My friend was able to connect to my server, but somehow I can’t connect to it using the external address.

I got my Cisco Aironet 350 card today & it took about 5 minutes to install it and get my G3 minitower online.

I’ve given my G3 a static IP address and set up port forwarding on my Airport base station, but it doesn’t look like I can access my G3 from outside. I can connect to http://10.0.1.201:81/ but http://blueg3.homeip.net:81/ doesn’t work.

My mom should be out of the hospital in about a week, she’s doing better, but still has some trouble breathing.

Winsongs 95

I just got word that my mom is in the hospital with fluid in her lungs. She’s had to use oxygen at home for a while & she’s had a lot of trouble breathing for the last week, so she went to see the doctor today. He put her in the hospital right away.

She was a heavy smoker for most of her life, but she quit smoking over 10 years ago and hasn’t smoked since then.

Her health has been poor for the last 5 years, since she developed Guillain-Barre, which she never fully recovered from. She now has to use a walker and has a nurse during the day when I’m not around.

I moved to Florida when she got sick, so I could be available when she needed me.
