Happy Birthday Cspears! Lots of birthday wishes today....lol!

Yeah Paper, have a Happy Birthday!

Yeah, I'll second that. Happy Birthday Cspears! Purple-Ronnie! & of course, you too Paperman.

Thanks Bullet, but I see Toot enough already. I like him stuck in my computer, something I can walk away from if I choose. D'ya think Toot has a smile like the tugboat? I kinda doubt it, he's such a sourpuss online.

I really like not broadcasting my SSID. Having to type in the network name & security level, not to mention password, should stop virtually everyone around here. Network doesn't show up anywhere on our devices, but everything is now connected via manual configuration. Thanks a bunch Lads, I would've wasted a lot of time dicking with this, but for all your help. Cheers & beers! Lastcold

Congratulations! Three to look after? And UnionJack? That's a troop.

Thank you m8's; WPA2 & hidden SSID is what I'm set at now. Assigned password to router itself, foolishly I never did that for the old LAN. Glad I didn't need to assign MAC addresses for individual devices, that would've drove me nuts. It's just for home, and we're fairly isolated. Nice to keep things somewhat accessible.....lol! Oh yeah Dean, Gentlemen? We be monsters here in IdiotLand!

You mean static addresses within the LAN? My Internet supplier provides a dynamic address for my connection. Had to clone all the information off my old router, including MAC addresses, for the swap to work in the first place. Would I have to supply a MAC address for every device that connects wirelessly? This is somewhat off the map for me, and I'm learning as I go. Main things are our Nooks, a PDA, and her Iphone. We're a couple hundred feet off the road, and I don't know what signal strength we have left by the time you get to the end of the property.......have to check that out.

Ok, sounds like WPA2 with hidden SSID. I don't want to sound Scroogish, but I'd rather not let others use what I'm paying for. One neighbor is in and out of county for various warrants, and he's the one I don't want reading my mail. Thanks Lads!

Just swapped out a new Netgear wi-fi router for the old Belkin. Our desktops are still hard wired to the LAN. My wireless is currently open, and I was wondering what level of security ya'll use for wireless. I would like to just name our system and add a password. Don't really feel like piggybacking the neighborhood on our network for free. Detecting two other networks along with our own, but they're really weak. Closest neighbor is 250'. Suggestions? Thanks Jim (lastcoldbeer)

When we were working on the slope, the seasons were described thus: Last Winter, This Winter, and Next Winter. You only had three. Summer wasn't talked about because the mosquitoes owned that. First time I ever saw mosquitoes with colors. And they had heft when you smashed them against the truck window.

You couldn't have thought of that yourself Harry.....

You don't waste time, do you RIP?

SgtHarryWeezer Wife and I each have one and I have developed a habit of reading about an hour a night in bed, which I thoroughly enjoy. Oh Harry, I wish I could stay awake that long after my head hits the pillow. 30 pages tops & I'm sound asleep.

Santa brought me a Nook for Christmas (and a lot of hard back books too). Wasn't quite sure how to take it, but a present is a gift and thanks to the giver. Looked on Google books & epub websites & found a bounty of public domain works for free. Stuff I had always meant to read, but never got around to it. Dickens, Carroll, Kipling, H.G.Wells, Verne, etc. Loaded it up, and I can't put the thing down. Read Alice in Wonderland, Peter & Wendy (peter pan), and am about through Robin Hood. I'm really delighted and would recommend one to anybody with an interest in literature.

Happy Birthday King! Hope you have many more. CYA on the ACE.

PimpedOutPete Thats his prayer partner... Thats biasphamy Gorilla.. Shame on you.. Prayer partner huh? I'd kneel before her too........

Howdy Chris; Always a pleasure to have you on the ACE server. We love anyone that can play & laugh.

Thank you all very much. My wife brought home a cold from the hospital & gave it to me....lol. Really feel like staying home & playing ACE or TDM. Probably better to get out in the fresh air. Don't forget the Duchess of Cambridge, Jimmy Paige, or even Richard Nixon. All January 9'ers.

Welcome G65 & Stinger! Always fun when playing w/you on the ACE server.

SgtHarryWeezer Rugger, you ought to draw a salary for the time/effort you put in here. And if so, you'll need a title. Henceforth, you are CEO Rugger. I'll second that, but how about Lord Imperial Immensity? Glorious Maximus Vice-Roy? Or, just Grand Biggus Dickus? Really Rugger, I don't know how you put up w/all the crap. Thank You for everything you do.

I like the nades, only way I can kill Larsin. Hope this move is a happy one, the CI's are really killing the fun.

Might be time to change vendors. Since the move ACE has been a mess.

computer crashed hard last night while playing MW. As it rebooted I noticed the cpu temp @ 61C . Whooooaaaah! Pulled everything apart and had an hour long session of vacuuming fans & cleaning heatsinks. What a mess. Guess I should pay a little more attention to internal maintenance. Back to operating temps around 42C. Was going to build a new computer this year anyway, but hate to melt the old one down prematurely.

Here General, but some of us work for a living......lol! TY for the additional slots Rugger!
