Everyone is Happy

One source of conflict in our house has been resolved. Not conflict like fighting and arguing, but as in competing interests. We have gone wireless. At the same time there has been a reversal on the information about using my work laptop on a home network.

Now Mrs H and I can both surf at will. She can window shop (or should it be called it Windows shopping?), buy and sell on eBay, and whatever else she does, while I blog and browse fellow bloggers, read the endless news sources, edit Wikipedia articles, find lesson resources, and play online arcade games (have you been to PopCap yet?).

No more, "Can I look at my email?" This is Mrs H way of saying, "Even though you are really involved in something, can I now use the computer for the next three or four hours, so I can annoyingly laugh at funny links people have sent me or posted on my favourite forum - funny things I may occasionally let you see while you are sitting there watching the TV show about dirty houses (or fashion sense, or getting toddlers to behave, or whatever) I turned on that I'm not longer watching because I took the computer, but for which I have kept the remote seclude on or about my person."

Congratulations to you both! Wireless doesn't matter to me as I don't have to share but I'm getting broadband next week and I can't wait to kiss arrivederci forever to dialup :-)

Thank you for the link to the games site- I have had great fun playing Noah`s ark :-)

I'd never played the Noah's Ark game until you mentioned it. It was a break from my usual addiction to RocketMania.
