Pain in the neck
For Joni's birthday this past year, I bought her a pillow! I'm
sure you're thinking "What a cheap-skate!", but hear me out...
It's not just any pillow, it's one of those "Tempur-pedic" pillows that
you can press your hand into and it holds that shape for a few seconds
before fluffing back out to the original shape. She had begged
for it also, well, maybe not begged, but wanted one really bad.
So I made sure that I got it early and hid it in one of my wonderful
hiding places! Ugh...look how easily I get sidetracked...it's
been one of those mornings. So anyway, she's been complaining
about her neck these past few days and thinks the culprit may be the
pillow. Last night we switched and now I have a knot in my neck
like you wouldn't believe. I don't blame the pillow, although I
could and what could it do about it, I think I just slept on it
wrong. I basically can't turn my neck to the right any more then
about 90° or so. Not that I can go a whole lot further to the
left, but it doesn't hurt nearly as bad. I'll give it one more
night.
On a totally un-related tangent, Scott, why in the world did you secure your parents wireless internet with a WEP key? I understand the use, to your average user a WEP (Wired Encryption Protocol) means they can't hop on your access point because you must have a password to get on it. What I don't understand is why on earth they would have it... Last I checked the farmers weren't retrofitting the cattle with WiFi cards, and while war driving is a popular past time (that's driving around looking for unsecured access points), I doubt very much that anyone will drive to "Finlon Four Corners" in search of free broadband. I only comment because I was going to hop on the network while there and post some pictures we took Friday of the house (they're up by the way) but was greeted with a great big NO. If I had linux at my disposal I would have cracked the key in a matter of 5 minutes, but all I had was Joni's laptop and Windows XP so it did me no good. From an employer standpoint, I have to say good job Scott, keeping the network as safe as possible (IPSec would be overkill for them), but from the standpoint of a family member who wanted on the network...disappointed!
