So, after some pressure from the boyfriend who's been subtly hinting at it for ages, we finally went out and bought a wireless router for our broadband connection. Initially I had said no because although his computer's all wireless enabled and everything, mine isn't... Plus it would probably cost too much. But, he was getting so bored of not being able to play his PSP online that while picking up a phone/plug surge protector yesterday (nasty storms here recently... Can't have our precious computers frying on us), we picked up a router too. After fighting the software that came with my USB adapter, I finally got the thing to work on my laptop. The boyfriend's laptop picked the signal up immediately, and, after a couple of slight problems regarding the encryption (no random idiots mooching off our net, thankyouverymuch), he was up and running.
However... there's nothing wrong with our old router, other than it's not wireless, and seeing as my laptop doesn't run on its battery anymore, the whole wireless thing seems a little pointless. The boyfriend couldn't get his game to run through the router so I'm wondering if it was perhaps a bad idea... We shall see, maybe I can at last go and plonk this machine on the desk upstairs that we bought and have never used since the net was down here. It does mean I'll have to fiddle with the cables and take the AC adapter upstairs, but at least I won't have to fiddle with the internet. ...or not, it's rather hot upstairs and it's always relatively cool down here. Hmmm, decisions... :P

And, just in case you didn't see the edit on the last entry... I joined the fanlisting revolution (yeah, yeah, sue me) and am now running the fanlisting for Jem's script, BellaBook, which is using my own fanlisting management script, I'll have you know. :D You shall join, because I said so. And if you don't, Jem will do an unrequested review on your site or something. Maybe. :P

I'm back. I'm not going to talk about the funeral or anything here, but if you're an LJ friend you can see some of the details there if you're interested.

Before I went, I added one of those Feedburner things, inspired, once again, by Jem. The subscriber count has kind of diminished though, last week it was about 8 subscribers and now it's on 3... Or 2, depends when you look

Oh and speaking of Jem, I visted some site today where she's been credited with the creation of my script, PHPAskIt. WTF? I wrote that! I mean, I don't mind the site who did it crediting someone else (as long as it isn't themselves) but still... Jem gets too many hits as it is, she doesn't need ones meant for me on top of the ones she gets already. Hmph... :P

Aaaand, I discovered today that my site is listed on the second page of Google when searching for Amelie. Not sure when that happened... Last time I checked, the first 20 million or so results were all reviews of that film with the same name, and plus I have Google and other bots blocked from my site since it stops spam... Somehow it's still associating my name with my domain, which it shouldn't really be doing since it's not supposed to index this site or anything. Oh well, can't complain - I was thinking of getting back into SEO and letting the bots back in anyway so this is definitely a good incentive. :D

Finally... Remember my dad's sponsored run? Well, my aunt (his sister) has done a sponsored skydive. She's already done the skydive but is hoping to use it to raise money for Daisy's Dream, a charity she's volunteered for for some time and who do an amazing job. If you have some spare cash, it would mean a lot to her and to us if you would sponsor her. Thanks :P

Edit: Oh yeah, and I made a fanlisting. Yeah, yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon... Anyway, it's for Jem's script, BellaBook. JOIN PLZ JOIN PLZ JOIN PLZ!!!111 (No really, it would be nice if you could join... If you're a fan of BellaBook, that is. Hee!)
