Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Okay - I got 'dumped' by Google Ads for some inane reason, so now I'm trying this again with two new blog ad companies.
While I'm not normally a 'click freak' and looking to make a living off my blog, I am shooting for something a bit more noble: cable internet.
What's this you say?
Well, here in San Diego one of the cable companies - the one that I'm using that is - is offering a 'package deal' for it subscribers. The 'deal' includes digital phone (local & long distance including Canada), digital cable (which I already get with no premium channels) and Road Runner internet service. The price is less than what I'm currently paying for SBC local phone service, Sprint long distance, digital cable, AND dial-up internet service. It just seems 'logical' to get the premium services for the same amount of money I'm already paying...
So, why am I posting about this and WTF does this have to do with blog advertising?
Well, getting this new 'package deal' isn't the problem or the direct reason I'm posting about it - getting the high speed cable internet throughout my house is.
I've got three computers in the house - two desktops and a notebook - that will (sooner or later) connected to the cable modem, but after I saw the prices for the wireless router and the wireless adapter cards for the two desktops....well, that's why I'm trying these blog ads once again....trying to get the cash to get this all hooked up in Casa del Mikey de la Loco.
I'm gonna have to shell out close to $160 to get the house 'wired' and to really take advantage of the package deal.
So....with that in mind, I'd like to grovel and ask that everyone click on those ads to help Mikey save poor kittens from evil mercenary PETA commandos.
I'm normally not the type to put my financial problems out on the net for discussion and I'm not looking for the 'pity' factor - just need people to click away.
Click away to the left - Mikey needs a new broad-band router and a couple of kidneys....
Got your info... Got the router in my posession!
I just need to reset it to factory default

Comments on Into the Breach Once Again
Yeah, your ads have finally decided it was okay for my computer to see them again ;D
I wonder if your desktops have ether net cards on them already. I'm wondering because most 'wireless routers' actually have 2 jacks for desktops in the back of the machine. That way, you might just need the modem, router and 2 wires instead of having to buy the adapter cards.

Maybe the desktops DO have wireless adapters....I'll have to check this evening.

|| Posted by Tetzman, August 16, 2005 06:39 PM ||I do know of a pretty good one.....
|| Posted by Tetzman, August 16, 2005 06:40 PM ||If I have trouble, I know who to call.... ;)
Just need the hardware...
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, August 17, 2005 07:16 AM ||What brand(s) of hardware are you thinking about getting? Bensbargains.net has the some of the best deals on just about every hardware combo you could name for this..... I'd say stay away from DLink, and get a good Linksys wireless router... I just dumped Dlink for them, and things work wonderfully...
|| Posted by Tetzman, August 17, 2005 04:11 PM ||Hadn't really thought much about any specific brand names except for the router HAS to be Linksys - everyone keeps telling me it's the best for wireless routers.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, August 17, 2005 04:17 PM ||My model # for the Linklsys I bought is : WRT54GS
|| Posted by Tetzman, August 17, 2005 05:29 PM ||I shopped Be$tbuy, Circuit City & CompU$A. Bestbuy had the best price of the 3, as well as $20 in rebates....
Amazon.com has one with a rebate that makes the entire router cost less than $20....just have to get the $$$ to get this going.

I have in my near reach, a suitable wireless router. Linksys Model WRT54G. (and no, it's not stolen...)
I will donate this to your cause! (anything for a fellow Vet & Dialysis sufferer!) Email me a snail mail address, and you should have it by Monday!
A client of mine got sold a whole lot of extra equipment by a slimey salesweenie @ Dell. I'll buy it from her, and give it to you!
Email me with your info....

I just need to reset it to factory defaults, than it'll be on it's way....
