i was hoping to take the opportunity today to rake the backyard since my upstairs neighbor steve did the front sidewalk yesterday, but the weather was never very good and when it started raining i couldn't do it anymore (everyone knows you only rake leaves when they're dry). the backyard's a real mess, covered with dead brown oak leaves, a real showcase of neglect. i actually haven't been in the backyard for many weeks now, i only catch glimpses of it in the mornings when i look out the kitchen door.

so instead i made a flan (i always make desserts when i have nothing better to do on sundays!) then did some html work for bruce. i didn't even realize i didn't have breakfast or lunch. when evening came, my family along with my aunt came by for dinner, i was making thai red curry (again!). we ate the flan i made earlier as well, before they went home. later in the evening, after alias ("i want that bitch dead," dixon said, j.j.abrams - you own me!), julie came by a little bit to get some os x software for her new machine.

one last note: i finally had to throw a password on my wireless network. i periodically check my network status to see if anyone's stealing my signal, and i've had some hints here and there, but i never saw anything concrete until tonight. somebody had established a computer to computer network through my wireless called "gobynet". i did what anyone would've done, i tried to see if i could get into this foreign computer, saw it on the network as a pc machine named "agatha" and i got as far as the drive named "bar" but didn't have the right username and password to get beyond that. i was thinking i could live in a wireless utopia where no one nearby would have wireless so i could keep my network unprotected all the time, but i guess it wasn't meant to be. so i went into my router admin page (which is password protected, thank goodness) and created a new password. unfortunately i didn't write down the generated password key so my ibook got locked out of my own network, but i was able to find out what it was from the wired G4. i just wish there was a way for me to send a message to people sharing my wireless, i wonder what's going to happen to gobynet now that it's lost its free wireless provider? anyone who wants to access the wireless is still able to, just let me know who you are and i'll share my password.
