Anime hiatus

There is something intensly irritating about buying a box set of an Anime series, only to discover that it only contains volumes 1 – 4. I didn’t even know there was a volume five until I got to the last episode on the disc and the characters were about to be destroyed by – inevitably, this is anime – giant evil sentiant robots.

Then it played the end theme.

“argh” I said.

“Bastards”, I added with feeling.

And bastards I believe them to be.

All of them.

(Also currently orbiting Planet Aquarion: Someone in my street has an open wireless connection, which occasionally lets me online. Sadly not all the time, though. Also, I hate wireless networking with a passion normally reserved for hardware. In addition, I’ve spent large parts of the weekend fucking around with hardware which, as I’ve mentioned, I detest with a passion I normally reserve for wireless networking. It ebbs and it flows, but never works properly. I’ll explain this when I know what it is I’m explaining.)

    um, what’s the big deal with wireless networking? Buy router, plug into cable modem/dsl, turn on encryption…

    Which assumes the routers encryption is compatible with the cards encryption, the router is compatible with the card (not guaranteed), the sun is shining the right way, your house isn’t steel framed and blocks WiFi.

    There’s a *lot* can go wrong with Wireless and quite likely will.

    I happen to know the router Aq has and if he has any problems with it I can only say “It’s all his fault” as it worked just fine for me :@)

    Did you say wireless networking? Excuse me while my head explodes with the memory of weeks of frustration. Actually, maybe I’ll just bask in the glory of (very well-earned) eventual success. Oh yeah; that’s the stuff.

    It seems Aquarionics was lying the first time, when it said it “couldn’t authenticate”. Shame on it.
