Days of My Life

If you can’t access certain web sites, see if they are listed in the HOSTS file (with no extension). Apparently, web site addresses listed in there are banned and/or considered as advertisement sites. In Windopws XP Pro, that file is located under “C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc” directory which should be opened with Notepad. It’s a “read-only” file, so you should change that first.

I can now access classmates.com.

“The Day After Tomorrow” is fearfully realistic in depicting what could really happen to us if we continue to misuse our planet, and its special effects are so awesome that I couldn’t shut my mouth! However, I felt something was missing, though I’m not sure what it is.

I will give it a B+.

If you are in Cincinnati, check out Current Communications. It’s better than Cable and DSL, because download/upload speeds are the same. Hope it expands to the West soon.

I just called Verizon at 800-567-6789, and after about 15 minutes on hold, I got the free speed upgrade. So my connection speed will be at 1.5Mbps (download)/386Kbps (upload) sometime tomorrow. Yay!

Update: “Estimated DSL Service Ready Date [for the upgrade] — 05/28/2004 after 6pm”. Shucks…

I have been trying to connect my Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) with my new Wireless-B Router (BEFW11S4-VN) for the last 2 days without success. According to its knowledge base, one only need to disable the DHCP Server of the second router; however, the second router was unable to establish a working connection with the USB Network Adapter (WUSB11-VN) on the second computer that way, more so with the WEP Security enabled.

I recommend getting a separate Access Point if you want to expand your network.

An old friend — Christine D. — from high school sent me a private message via the alumni website. She’s the first person from my high school to contact me. I feel touched, because I thought I was nobody in high school. Yeah, I wasn’t popular at all; I was just another guy in a wheelchair to most of them. :lipsseal: And I was much more introverted than I am now.

“The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that states can be sued for money damages under a landmark federal civil rights law for failing to provide access to the courthouse for people with disabilities.” — [[link removed]]

In my opinion, this is an obvious ruling, not to mention that it is just and a logical outcome. After all, laws such as ADA are made by the government.
