It's #@$king Cold!!!

Wow! This is the first time I have lived in a place where there are a FULL four seasons and it is not fun. OK, Fall was cool and the colors were very pretty, but we got a cold snap over the weekend and it is now snowing outside. We don't like snow. Thank heavens for the ondol.

There is not much to say on this end. I went to the Techno-mart in Seoul to buy a wireless router; that was cool. I bought that and a hard drive enclosure for about USD$40. One of my laptops died on me so I needed the enclosure to get my data off of it before I formatted the hard drive. Fortunately I had already backed up the data so it wasn't too much trouble to retrieve the new data.

With the wireless router I will now be able to watch my media (news podcasts, movies, ect.) on one computer and surf the web on the other. So far setting it up wasn't too bad. My old Dell laptop is sill kicking, but the WIFI card is an 802.11B card so if I use it with web access I have to reconfigure the setup with a WEP key instead of using WPA to secure the access point.
