Today my laptop beat its record for most amazing feat ever my an electronic device. It’s not uncommon for it to say that it’s connected to my home wireless network when I’m sat in the office (with the card actually switched off), and with an “excellent” reception no less. Today, though, it’s topped that.
Not content with being linked to a network 10 miles away, today it has decided it it connected to SFG‘s home network, nearer 60 miles away in Stoke. Impressive.
I am now going to use all his bandwidth downloading kiddie-porn, copies of the Quoran and military manuals.
As well as this, in the office we now have the world’s most advanced cheesegrater. Technically, it’s the fan at the back of a feck-off huge server, but with the heat it throws out and the grille over the back, you can grate and cook food produce on it simultaneously. As an added bonus, the fan even blows the food out of the grater and onto your plate, allowing hardly any into the inner workings of the server.
Mmmmm… cheese and chip toasties. Now, if I could only figure out where that burning smell’s coming from.
My laptop claimed to be connected to my home internet whilst on the train the other day. 200 miles – beat that BlueTooth!
I think it is actually connecting to itself. The ON/OFF button for my built in card never seems to work, so I am broadcasting constantly (I don’t share files for this reason). I think it is then able to recognise its own broadcast signal – and hey presto it connects to itself, with excellent signal strength.
The Quoran? Is that the islamic holy book made out of reconstituted mushroom protein?
You don’t need to download any of that dude, just browse the P drive…..
There is, I think, still actually a copy of the anarchists cookbook somewhere on the network.
