I'm getting fed up of trying to figure out why the wireless portion of my Cisco 1811 isn't working when I configure it for open authentication. Simple SSID, open authentiction, and that's it. If anybody has any ideas let me know.

I removed the RSS Feeds on the Left hand side of my blog, since the CurrentNews site takes care of those. So I added a list of podcasts that I listen to, or watch on a regular basis. Most of them I listen to whenever there's a new episode out.

So I watched West Wing tonight, I haven't seen any of the other episodes from this season, but It was Live, so I watched it. It was a Live Debate between the two presidential candidates in the show. All I have to ask is Can I get the Matt Santos Medicare Plan?

WEll I've taken all six for class... Here are the results of them:

Quiz 1: 95.7%
Quiz 2: 87.9%
Quiz 3: 97.8%
Quiz 4: 100% (shocked, it was ISDN PRI/BRI)
Quiz 5: 93.2%
Quiz 6: 89.5%

anyway, I got the following question in the third quiz:

A technician has used Telnet to gain remote access to a router that has no connectivity on its serial interface. Which command should be issued to determine if the serial cable is connected properly?

show controllers
show processes
show run
show status

My question is how is the technician gained access "remotely" if there was only one serial interface on the router, it would be completely impossible.... This is a great example of how Cisco's Quizzes are completely skewed....

anyway, the answer (if anybody cares) is Show Controllers, which will show whether layer 1 or layer 2 are currently configured properly... and my guess is that on this question, they were not. Well layer 1 might have been, but I can't say for sure without more information.

I added current news to my website. It's all about technology at the moment, but I can add more. It is supposed to be updated automatically, but I'm not sure if it does. Let me know what you think.

I found a good streaming video capture program called SDP. There was a streaming video feed I wanted to download, but of course I couldn't... but now I found a way to have it work... I'll let everybody know how well the software works.

so, my car window got smashed again yesterday, no idea how, no idea why. The officer, who happened to be the same person that came out last time, says it was a bebe gun. I dont' know, but oh well nothing I can do about it.

Secondly, a thing that bugs me is that people call the New IPod, the "Video IPod", when in all actuality it's not the "Video IPod". It's an IPod that plays Video as well as music. There's no way that the current IPod with Video would be considered the "Video IPod", because the battery life is entirely too short. only 2 hours while watching Video, how is that suitable as a video IPod... its' not... so just call it an IPod that can play video.

I got this from Digg.com: If Fox News had been Around throughout History
This is funny stuff.

Sox just won the world series, They swept the Astros 4 - 0, while winning in Minute Maid Stadium... Final Score: 1 to 0.

Well it's 1:01, and the cable has been out for over 15 minutes now... and the sox game was still on... all I have now is audio, and no video... it's not that I'm really interested in sporst, but I wanted to see the end of the game... we take for granted what we have, and when we dont' have it, we finally realize what we have.... Top of the 14th right now....
