No ride today. Have to drive my last couple routes to find out approximate mileage, but I'm pretty sure I came close to 100 miles this week. I think I'm really coming close to the limits of what I can do without taking water along, especially with the weather finally warming up, yet I have no idea where my camelback is, so there's that.

Of course, the couple grand for new brakes is probably more important, but less fun.

Cleaned the fridge radiator/inner workings tonight. Currently alternating between blowing dust out of my nose and wishing I was dead.

I was having trouble getting some programs to connect to the internet, and general speed was down. So I went into the router's config, and found my wireless network hosting at least a half dozen computers it shouldn't have been. So I set up encryption on it. Still changing settings on the wireless devices around the house. Hooray.

Found my old Warcraft disk yesterday. Managed to get a working DOS emulator on my laptop. Now if I could just figure out how to get it to go full screen...

The new Macintosh commercial is unintentionally hilarious. Summary: "PCs are debatably less reliable than Macs. In the future, PCs will still be unreliable. In the meantime, PCs can travel through fucking time."
