W00T!!111!!! We now know the joys of a home wifi network! I'm writing this from our bed! Okay, I know, I'm waayyy too excited about this, especially since this is something I really should have done, like, a year or two ago.

So, I now have to fill y'all in on the adventures in setting it up. The apple store had a sale today, and along with all the iPod stuff, they were selling the airport express. Now, since Jeff's a student, and gets the student discount, we usually get our apple gear that way. However, they were selling the airport express for less than it would cost normally with the student discount. So, we got one.

However, Jeff's old powerbook g4 (it's almost 3 years old now) didn't come with an airport card, and he never got one installed. So, we stopped by compUSA and picked up a Belkin wireless PC card. Jeff was very suspicious of it, because the box only mentions windows and not mac. But I figured it would work with a Mac, due to the lovely plug n play-ness of OS X. So, I set up the airport express, then Jeff plugs the belkin in the powerbook. It takes a while to respond, but it's up and running in a few minutes. Then, I start noticing major range problems. Turns out that antenna wasn't plugged into the wifi card all the way. This is a common problem, apparently.

But we're up & running now! Yay!

OOou, beer beer beer bed bed bed.
