I’ve moved to resident evil land

Additionally,  my (crappy) theme appears to work just fine as well, with no modifications!

The tank today

Haven’t posted a tank update in a while. Things are going good - livestock is growing, everybody is healthy, and things are getting colorful!

After confirming that my cable modem used DHCP, entering a password for disk access, and entering a WPA2 password, everything was up and online.  A nice little touch, the utility software that configured the Time Capsule’s wireless network automatically reconfigured my Airport card to connect to the WPA2 802.11N network on the Time Capsule.  After getting online, I opened up the Time Machine configuration setting pane, selected ‘Change Disk’, picked the Time Capsule out of the list, and that was it.  
It’s now doing DHCP, Wifi, NAS, TimeMachine hosting, and routing/NAT’ing my cable modem, with a grand total of 5 minutes of configuration and maybe half a dozen clicks.  Fairly impressive!  802.11N is so much faster than 802.11G, it’s unbelievable.  I should have upgraded to N a while ago!

Unfortunately, it’s got sucralose in it, so it falls outside of my allowed foods list (no artificial sweeteners).I think this is the first thing outside of a Nintendo Power Glove that I’ve ever gotten simply because of a movie.  Worth every penny! 

Check out the epic commercial for the drink:
