This one’s another inspired by Carmi Levy’s Thematic Photographic, with a little help from peeking at Sweetly’s pics over at Gaze Sweetly 🙂
Ok ! It’s wires !
But in the right hands, it’s also a Secret Weapon. Or rather, the one on the left is. The one on the right is being retired in favour of something more appropriate (the new one has more plugs)
I spent a little more money yesterday on :
Surge protector for my internet bits, laptop & speakers.
New router
Big Long Wire
The new router (a Linksys Wifi-G model) is the third Linksys item I’ve acquired and I’ve been pretty impressed with what I’ve seen from Linksys so far. The new gadget has slotted in with no trouble whatsoever. Even my desktop with its dodgy wifi card can see it 100% reliably ! Incredible !
And the Big Long Wire means I can play Warcraft with no lag/latency coming in due to that dodgy wifi card. Although the “roundness” of that cable means I’m having to cover it with the plank to reduce it’s chance of tripwiring me into a plaster cast.
PS The other end of that wire is hidden under the sofa … When gaming, I’ll have the cable running across the floor, underneath the plank. When doing other things, it’ll be coiled up and hidden beside the sofa.
