New gadgets, babies

So, I was at work today – I did a lot of stuff, most importantly, I set up our new wireless network.

Our office is in a rather large house that we try to cover with wireless LAN so everyone is always connected. Up until now, we've had a hodgepodge of access points; two really crappy D-Links, a fairly good ZyXEL and one no-name made in Taiwan gadget that supposedly is a wireless access point too…

But recently, I bought a couple of Linksys WRT300v2s, which I finally got around to setting up today, and I must say I'm positively surprised. As I have no computers with Draft N compability, I've only tested it with G, and I daresay it's an improvement over the old APs. The WRT300 is also a router, but for my purposes, I've disabled all the router features, so now they basically work just like access points.

Of new designs, updates and monstrous printers

As you might have discovered by now, I've changed the theme for this website. I downloaded a theme named niftyCorners, and now I intend to customize it. I look forward to getting a design with a bit more character on this page.

Also, Drupal was updated yesterday, so I've updated all my sites to 4.7.1. It went like a breeze. Good job, Drupal-people.

Big, isn't it?|link=node|align=right|width=100|height=48]In other notes, we got a new printer at the office yesterday. It's a wizzy color laser printer, the HP Color LaserJet 3550n. It is a really good color printer, actually, and it was a breeze to set up on my computer, due to the nice linux-drivers HP provides. But most of all, this printer is really big. I have taken a picture of it, dwarfing our fileserver and even my old 19" screen. It's just huge. Enourmous. Monstrous.
