Been watching the news. The US is nervous about the Iranian nuclear program. The solution been touted by various ‘experts’ …

Invade Syria. I kid you not. The theory is that the missing Iraqi WMDs were burried in Syria, where they could be uncovered and show links back to Iran (despite them being enemies of the Iraqis).

Still the so called experts probably think Iran is some where near Iceland.

Well it looks like my wireless network card is failing. Having been strugglinh to pick up the network in the hotel, I borrowed one of their cards which worked fine. Just got a new D-Link 11G Extreme PCMCIA card (will do 108 Mbps with the right switch), and lo, it worked straight off.

Only cost me $49, with a $10 rebate (coming back to me via Chris).

Not sure what was more sureal. The Holiday Inn I’m staying in has a TV at the far end of the breakfast room, plus a x-mas tree with a music box type of noise coming out of it.

Sureal item #1.
The ALF talk show. Yup I kid you not, that alien character from a late 70s, early 80s comedy show now has a full blown talk show. Only in America comes to mind.

Sureal item #2
With the christmas jingle going on in the background, after being filtered out by the TV set, all I can hear is the music box music from For a Few Dollars More, the Clint Eastwood movie. This nusic never stopped though so no shooting ^^

Good job I brough my laptop with me – the hotel I’m in has a free wireless network. Only catch is that I don’t seem to be able to get a signal in my room – might just be my card so they’re going to let me borrow one of their spares.
