Router and Aya

Last week I came home and my router test light was on. I reset the router, powered it back on and NOTHING. Crapsters my router went out. Oh well, lately I have only been using 1 of my 3 computers. Go figure that once the router goes out the following things happen:

1. The guys at work want to play Call of Duty4. I don't want to switch my internet connection from my home pc to my gaming machine every night;

2. Work wanted me to work from home...again I don't want to be changing my connections from one PC to the other;

3. Sascha came to stay with me and him and his wife need internet access for their laptops;

4. My business partners want me to make a file server, steal my bandwidth and host a central repository on our work machine.

Now I have 4 pcs, one internet connection....so I need a router. It has been a pain in the butt to get the router configured. I have 'borrowed' several routers, so each time I have to look up the make and model. Get the password, get the user id and then test it. I even called TimeWarner to help me and they couldn't help me! ARGH. Finally, I had some time tonight and I finally got the router configured!

I am back in business, online a home, ready on 3 of the 4 pcs as I just don't feel like make a file server right now.

I bought another LA Zoo membership pack. As a present I got a free 'plush' purple gorilla. JT doesn't really like stuffed animals. He will hold it, throw it around, look at it and then he is done. However he calls the purple gorilla, "MOM". Honest. I didn't teach him that either.

Aya hasn't been home a lot and recently he grabbed the gorilla, looked at Aya, looked at the gorilla and said, "MOM!"

Needless to say Aya doesn't like being a purple, hairy gorilla but JT thinks it is the funniest thing to call the Gorilla mom! I love it!!
