The day didn't start auspiciously: right after the Comcast guy came, somebody started doing something seriously vibratory to the floor in the apartment above mine. I also found that Comcast doesn't do wireless routers. Then I went to 425-land to get my repaired vacuum cleaner, and had to wait for boat traffic through the 520. (Yes, it's a concrete pontoon drawbridge.) Then I got on the bus without my laptop, had to get off partway to work, and come back to the Lake Place. No laptop, no work.

However, once I got to work, I fixed my first bug. Yes, it took a lot of hand-holding, and no, I haven't figured how to send out a code review yet, but at least I believe I've got it.

And I got an Apple Airport Express wireless router at tithonium's suggestion, and it's currently carrying my bits to you. The setup wasn't quite as slick as I expected - I'm already spoiled by Apple products - but it was still pretty good. That's right: Internet and wireless on the same day. (Cue the gasping and panting.) My fifties paradise apartment is now squarely in the twenty-first century.

There were warnings about it on the signs, which I saw on the way east - just minutes before the bridge was scheduled to close. It wasn't completely unexpected, just a hassle. I (thought I) had time yesterday morning, and I wasn't sure I was going to have time over the weekend.
