    WiFi
    Well, either i'm completely stupid or hm... someone else ).
    Been to one crazy house today, there was a broadband inet connection there and
    hm.. two wireless routers, one connected to the b.b. "modem" and the other connected
    to the first one. Am i going crazy? I don't see why anyone sane would do it. I mean the
    distance between two was like a feet, so if it was done in an attempt to widen the area
    of the good signal, it did no good. The second wireless network with WEP the first one
    without any; and the man who set up this whole thing tried to assure me that this way
    he has his own private connection to the inet and by limiting the number of connections
    to his router(WEP) he gets a faster access to the inet. Anyway, my attempt to explain
    that his router is connected to the router which all other users use and the broadband is
    shared between all of them failed. I dunno, i guess i'm not following some new technological
    breakthroughs. Im getting old.

    I'm finished witty college... for now
    Well, finals starting tomorrow.
    In the meantime, i'm not preparing for them, and i suggest everyone to do the same. If you know the stuff it'll come to you. If you don't, stupidly going through all the material for the semester is a waste of time.
    I'm spending my time doing something more useful anyway =). Reading manuals and trying to understand how everything works outside of windows realm. It's getting clearer with every manual.

    Things are not that bad after all.

    wow!!
    Before I built a wall I'd ask to know

    What I was walling in or walling out,

    And to whom I was like to give offence.

    Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

    That wants it down!

    Friends
    Friends, not many of them will remain. I used to have a lot. Almost none of them keep in touch right now. They come and go leaving no memories. I have five-six real friends and most of them know me from kindergarden. We trully stand for each other, they know all my weaknesses and habbits, i know theirs. Only one thing bothers me though: during two years i lost many of my buddies(there have been 20-30 ppl that i considered friends). How many of those six dearest people that i have now will remain at least friends after a year or so?

    Current Mood: sad

    Some major discovery
    I found out that my favorite toy is still alive. Im talking about The Computer, ZX Spectrum. It has been almost 15 years since Sinclair Research stopped developing new models of this cheap and remarkable personal computer. Nevertheless, there is still some enthusiasts, especially in former Soviet Union that keep the platform alive. So now im thinking about getting one for my humble needs =).
    Original ZX Spectrum:
    CPU - Z80, 3.5Mhz
    RAM - 16,48, 128Kb
    ROM - 16-64Kb
    TV-out
    Kempston or Sinclair Joystick
    Main Storage unit is Audio Tape!

    Spectrum Enchanced By Bright Guys:
    CPU - 2 x Z80 on one mainboard
    RAM - for up to 4Mb on two SIMM modules.
    IDE controller for IBM-PC compatible HDD's, CD-ROMS.
    And many other improvements =).
    Operating System - Basic, TR-DOS, CP/M, TASiS, ZX-Windows.

    Whoever interested in some information http://atmturbo.nedopc.com/
    The site is in Russian so... i dunno =)
