Got an Atheros chipset-based 802.11g PCI card working in my desktop machine Sunday. That was painless (after toiling for seven hours Saturday with an 802.11b PCI card that I never did get to work. $60 well spent for the ‘g’ card — no hassle. Thanks, D-Link. It’s a DWL-G520.
$econd sonogram
My wife got an elective second sonogram today to confirm the baby’s health and gender.
Still a girl, they firmly estimate.
Healthy. Great heart rate. She is 18cm long (confirm with wife) and 1′ 4oz (confirm with wife).
$75 for a little convenience (the gender). I don’t care about that convenience. I don’t want to barrage my child with sonar any more than I absolutely have to confirm her health. Glad that’s over. I had trouble sitting through the first one; I didn’t attend this one.
Insurance discount
Big day. Almost a month ago I traded my 2001 Honda Accord in for a 2001 Toyota Rav4. I had yet to put it on my insurance as the first time I called their system was down.
Today I sold my R6. Title work all done, the buyer came by to pick it up around 10pm.
While I was on the phone adding the Rav4 to my coverage, I let them know I got married. And I removed the motorcycle from my policy.
All said, using round numbers, my insurance went from $1500+ for 6 months to $590 for six months. What?!? Really. Kee-rist!
At 11:30pm the power went out. It’s fixed now.
