This should be fun...
Turns out the AP they sent was meant for use in Japan. So US 802.11a cards don’t use the same channels, and can’t associate with the Access Point.
overstock.com -- the wait continues
Not terribly surprising, given their previous level of communication, but I haven’t heard back from Overstock.com yet. Not a word.
More Fun with Customer Service
So, apparently part of the way overstock.com saves you money is through recycling. Of UPS tracking numbers, unfortunately. Placed an access point / 802.11a card (no typo, long story) order with them, but the order tracking shows it shipping last week, arriving last July. And also the previous October. In various parts of the country.
IE View v0.7 released
IE View, my Mozilla/Firefox extension which allows you to easily view the current page (or any link) in Internet Explorer, has been updated.
What the hell is keventd up to?
Scratching my head on this one. Since upgrading my server to kernel 2.4.24PIII (uniprocessor), keventd is constantly taking 70 or 80% of CPU. It seems to yield OK, in that web processes, spamassassin, etc. get space to run when needed, but it’s weird. A box that used to sit with lots of idle time now seems to be running full throttle; it may be in my head, but I think it shows in web and IMAP responsiveness.
Upcoming shows
Three upcoming shows on the list at the moment. That's definitely some sort of record for the current millenium.
