Your internet is mine! |

So, I got my computer finally. It's an office tower, that is, I call it a tower, but it's horizontal. This is what it looks like:

Not bad for $175, right? I also got a regular 17" CRT monitor for $25. I budgeted exactly $200 to get back online, so shit, I think I made out like a fucking bandit.
Last night I got a wireless router for our cable modem as well as a USB network adaptor. Since my roommate, who locks his door and tends to be away for days at a time, has the cable modem in his room, I thought I was shit out of luck as far as being online goes until at least the early part of next week. Never fear, though; since I'm in an apartment complex, there are multiple wireless networks being run within the 400-foot range of my USB thingamabob. I just put it in the window, and voila, free internet.
Of course, I'm stealing shitty Verizon DSL, and my speeds are terrible, so don't hope to get anything from me until my router is hooked up. At least I can get back into the fray around here on a regular basis now, though, which is nice.
P.S. The Rangers suck. Can you not take stupid penalties, please?
