My router has been having issues. At least, I'm pretty sure it's the router, specifically, the wireless portion. Clickhaven, it appears, really hates said wireless network and sometimes refuses to use it at all, which leads to a trip-hazard strewn across the room, and more recently the various iDevices in the house sometimes hate it, too. Anyway, one of the ideas someone suggested for helping involved switching from WEP to WPA, so this morning I downloaded the router manual and went to work.
First, the internet stopped working altogether, but not before I'd totally reset the router, screwed up thousands of settings, and generally made myself a nuisance unto computerkind. Then, I got out my laptop, under the assumption that maybe Clickhaven was to blame for part of the trouble thus far. There's still no verdict on that, because if there's one thing I am not, it's methodical.
At this point I either got the internet working again OR it started working again on its own.
Then I managed to get the wireless network set up, at which point none of the various devices connected to the router would deign to find the internet.
Then I reset everything, held my breath, and it all worked again.
For this level of technical guessing, I'm regarded in my office as some sort of technology goddess. HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH.
So, Portal 2!
I told someone that if people set out to design a video game for me, it would be Portal. Puzzles, humor, a bit of action, no lives to run out of... no health meter to speak of--you're just either alive and moving, or dead and resetting. Plus, Portal was a short game, so I was able to play all the way through.
Portal 2 is longer, but other than that*, it's just as tailored to me. Plus, it is FREAKING AWESOME. And GUYS, I actually beat it! I have only beat two games in my entire life: Portal, and Portal 2.
Well, and Hexic. But that's a little different. Oh, I guess I beat The Fancy Pants World Adventure, too.
Aaaanyway: POTATO.
:-)
*Actually, because Portal 2 is EXTREMELY AWESOME, I don't think the length mattered at all.
