Wireless Router

My wireless router just dropped out. When I checked it, the power adapter had come out slightly. The router uses a power adapter with two round pins, and needs an adapter to fit into the power board. And it does not fit very well. Of course I do not have an adapter that will work to replace this one, although I will need to get one. What I find strange is that things fail when there is nothing nearby to to cause it to fail. Admittedly the powerboard is on it’s side, and the power connection is quite tenuous on the adapter, but even so…

Sandra Bullock – The Net

I was just looking at Cryptome.Org and they noted that they had had their PayPal account suddenly blocked for a few days. Very strange. They suggested looking at PayPalWarning.com about the problems experienced by some users of PayPal. For those that do not know, PayPal is a micropayments service that allows secure purchases on The Internet. Or at least that is the idea. I have not had any problems myself with them, nor have I known anyone who has had problems.

Music

I am listening to my catalogue of Robbie Williams music on the Jukebox with some decent bookshelf speakers. MP3’s even at 128k sound fantastic through decent (or even semi-decent) speakers.
