dumbing it down

I've been hit by the oddest Byzantine bug. Ubuntu wireless support has died. I've no idea how or why, everyone is scratching their heads; but nothing seems to work. Not the fancy GUI, nor the tried and trusted command line tools. To even begin to fix this, I need to go out and wardrive to find an unprotected AP. Bleargh. It's all a conspiracy.

Yesterday was the beginning of the year of the Rooster. I'd like to say I spared some members of the Rooster tribe yesterday, but ... that would be a lie.

And to wrap up a throughly meh post, I bring news of Die Hard 4. At this rate, Bruce Willis can be mocked like Stallone for the Rocky series.
