Wonderous Wireless Action!
01.24.05 (8:55 am)   [edit]


The wonderful world of wireless technology. About a year ago I picked up a wirless router and PC card. Shortly thereafter I also picked up an aftermarket wireless NIC for my xbox.


 


The xbox card is handy so that I can cart the thing around to various audio/visual setups around the house, xbox live, and shares from my PC. So that was kind of a fun thing. The real enjoyment however has come via the PC card I just got for my laptop. There is nothing quite like being nice, warm and comfy in your bed AND being able to be able to provide support, check my mail, get on the web. All that good stuff.


 


If you are really organized, really lazy, or both I highly recommend getting some wireless G action. Although B at 11 Mps is more than double what most cable/DSL networks (3/5 Mbps) offer the G at 54 Mbps provides a signifigant improvement in range. It’s the best tech gadget I bought in a long time. An absolute must for the discriminating geek.


 


Since I had all the other infrastructure setup I have really missed out on this surfing action from bed. Warning to all: if you have a signifigant other they may complain about bed surfing action. When this happens my suggestion is to get them in the bed surfing action! Then they stop complaining J. If that fails, just give them some regular action. Then they just get sleepy and leave to your surfing fun. Hee Hee.

Thats what the wireless PC card is for! I go "wartraining" on the commute to and from work.

Hey! A guy's got to have a hobby!

I've never played an xbox or playstation or nintendo. Last time I played a video game, it was Pong.

And if my man was playing video games while I was in bed with him, there would be some SERIOUS problems!

The xbox makes an awesome media center. You can download movies off the internet (all in the public domain of course) and stream them wirelessley from a share on a PC and play them on your home thatre setup.

You don't need to be into gaming to make an xbox a really great thing to have!

I can't even get my vcr and dvd player hooked up simulatneously to work. And I don't want to have it as a distraction for anyone else that might come into my home. I would SHOOT or BOOT any significant other than played video games in bed with me. Period. There is only ONE joystick I want in my house. And it's already wireless.
