it was this site.

this site ultimately gave me the help i needed.

i have spent almost the entire day trying to get wireless networking up on my laptop. first i bought two different wireless devices and two routers from Fred Meyer but was unable to get either to work after several hours. then i drove to a little computer shop far away to get two more wireless adapters and an ethernet adapter (this serial upload link is driving me crazy). i’m really hoping i can get this stuff to work because it will save me money in the long run. i guess i couldn’t really think of a better way to spend this rainy day. ;P

work is keeping me busy, but in the evenings i’ve been watching the mariners quite often. i enjoy watching baseball but i guess i’m really just taking a break from the things i need to do. i bought a few japanese study materials but haven’t had the motivation. i did check out the Godfather from the library on Saturday and have made real good progress; i think i’ll finish it tonight. i still have been unable to get the wireless card working on my laptop and i’m starting to consider a backup plan (purchase a new card or a new laptop).

Eriko has confirmed her plane tickets to visit Anchorage this winter. it will be a nice long trip, about a week – 22nd - 30th. at that time we’ll work together to put the finishing touches on the fiance visa application and she’ll be able to see a Kirsch Christmas. X)
