I feel very fortunate that I was able to celebrate Mother's
Day with Galahad's mom. We bought her a laptop and set it up
wirelessly for her. Man, I hate fkn wireless. It all works fine
until you try to add in security. It randomly disconnects her and
finds her neighbor's network, which wouldn't be so bad except it's a weak
signal and doesn't have Internet. She's a new user, so it's quite the
challenge trying to walk her through repairing a wireless connection.
Meanwhile she has a NETGEAR card and a NETGEAR router (saved as the default
connection) but it keeps going to that Linksys network.
And mine is awful.
My laptop fought so much between wired & wireless if I switched back & forth
that I finally stopped switching and just left it wireless (after spending
hours & rebooting into safe mode to fix it). However, that causes
random weird lag so I've gone back to wired for the time being. Gah I
hate this shit.
Anyway, I had a very lovely time there, although it saddens me to see his
dad falling further into the decline of Alzheimer's. I was able to
tell him I loved him and that it was good to visit with him. He got
teary-eyed and said he loved me, too.
