Ready to go home, 20080802sa2130

Overall, it's been a good day. A lot was accomplished. I'm happy to be finishing up, and hope to get home and go to bed early.

After helping a client earlier today, I rode my bike home, but then decided to go to the convenience store down the hill to get some nourishment. From there, I went to the New Pioneer Co-op to get some Clif Bars. From there, I went to my office. I've been here, focusing, uninterrupted, since about 6:00 PM when I left the Co-op. The afternoon was quiet. Surprisingly, there were no phone calls or emails through the afternoon and into the evening.

This evening, I went ahead and moved my August journal entries from July to the August live feed online journal. I've been scanning receipts and following up on things relating to the Border to Border tour. I took a break this evening, and watched the movie Paycheck. It was quite good. The photo above was taken at about 8:30 PM. It's close to 9:24 PM now, and I'm planning to go home soon.

Belkin Wireless Router, 20080802sa1620

While helping a client today, I discovered an interesting characteristic of a Belkin Wireless N Router. The router uses http://192.168.2.1 as the address to access the management software. On the router, a blue indicator light (labeled wireless) indicates when the wireless feature is being used. What's a little bit confusing about this, is that most routers have an indicator light that tells you if the wireless feature is enabled. If it is off, this means that the wireless feature is off. On the new Belkin Wireless N router, the wireless may or may not be enabled, but the blue light will indicate when someone has logged in or attached to the wireless network. So, an end user, may be thrown off by this -- thinking that the wireless feature isn't working.

It's been a very busy day so far. I spent almost two hours on the
phone with ATT trying to resolve a text messaging issue, but couldn't
get it resolved. I'm now stopping to have a sandwich, my first meal of
the day, and it's about 4:00 PM.

These first two days back in Iowa City have been very full. I've had
client work scheduled every day so far -- small jobs, but keeping me
busy. I'm going to eat and then ride to my next job site. Tonight I
hope to get caught up on invoices and send out my newsletters.

Weighing In, 20080802sa1526

I was encouraged just now to see that my weight has continued dropping. Now at 93 kg (204 pounds).
