Commit... failure

I seriously need to just promise myself to write one entry per day, no matter how small or insignificant....

There, done.. a fresh install of Fedora 8 Live x86_64 using a USB stick... and gnome-blog.

Today, we took Scott outside to play on the swingset. Took a few pictures, but they won't be up for while, because we just don't get around to posting/organizing that often.

Also signed Holly up for the "Everything" plan from Sprint. She's porting from the T-Mobile prepaid we used as a backup when she lost her (my) unlocked GSM Motorola RAZR. A bit excessive on the cost, but maybe she can use the extra features... at least she won't have to worry about running out of minutes. Thanks to my buddy Brandon for the hookup.

Still pondering dropping AT&T Completely, but DSL is awfully cheap, and I'm not ready to commit our home phone to Comcast, or drop it entirely. We finally got our vouchers for discounts on the digital converter boxes. So, now I need to decide which one to buy. OTA digital/HD TV is working pretty good for us on the upstairs HD 30-inch TV, but it's kind of crappy downstairs. Need to get the media center going...

Oh, and the Internet... pppoe-setup on Fedora is quite lame. I might have to build a router, seeing as I sold my Wireless N one, for lack of gigabit switching. Smoothwall has always worked well, but I hate dedicating a whole box to that. I'll probably go with the D-Link Extreme N one. I'm not sure I really want to do ClarkConnect either. If I'm going to go that far, I might as well just run full-out linux on a box for a server. Configuring Fedora doesn't really sound like much fun though... I've got a Celeron 700 with two 10/100 cards and a wireless-b card that works... sigh...
