Hehehe... I got a wlan at work once again. This time, i used only defective hardware to build it. A wireless router with a defective ROM (stuck in AP mode and WebAdmin is toast) plugged into an old Dl-604p that tends to crash under heavy load turned into a perfect wireless net for me.

So this means that i'm now wirelessly using my iPAQ from the back of the store while "testing" empire earth on an athlon 64.

Fun days...

And it's funny, no boss, no intern and 6 customer left happy. Coincidence?

Not Coincidence!

I guess defective hardware=happy customers. Somehow. One of those inverse equations of life, like how people will be happy with watching people doing all kinds of embarrassing things of reality TV. Stick to it and see if it works.

Me building something out of defective hardware for me and the customer happyness is related.

I think the customers are just happy because i can actually answer to their question and fix the problem right now instead of just repeating the usual "boxside" commercial bs and telling them to leave the system and come back next week.

Shows the upside to actually being savvy when working for a hardware/software repair business. Your job was well-chosen.

Sleepy time...
