Out with the Xircom, in with the Linksys

We now Cable internet... not without a small hiccup though.

After 4 years my Xircom RBEM56G-100 bit the dust - it never worked properly in Chicago. Of course this immaculate timing meant that my cable internet sat unused for 24 hours since shadowfax didn't have an onboard NIC.

Having Circuit City, Best Buy and CompUSA within 3 miles of home is a wonderful thing when you are in the market for electronics. I picked up a Linksys PCM200 for a very cheap price - plugged it in and it just worked (tulip driver). Nice when that happens.

2 weeks down

The Davies family have survived 2 weeks here! Tomorrow is what we're looking forward to - Saturday!

As long as the weather is favourable, we'll drive north on route 12 into Wisconsn to see the "colors[sic] of Fall".

Independant of the weather, we'll make our first family visit to Woodfield Mall, which just has to be seen to be believed. J will certainly enjoy the crocodigle (crocodile for everyone above 3 year of age).
