I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

I started working an in-office freelance job this week and got my first wad of payment on Friday. It’s a weird feeling to go from near-starvation rent-panic to suddenly being flush with cash.

My job is relatively easy stuff—I make a 2 page website and style sheets for a different topic everyday based on the domains the company has registered (ranging from cheerleaderwow.com to redstatespectator.com). I did three this week—megaotaku.com plus the ironic bookends drunkcollegevideos.com and cutebabyvideos.com.

They wanted me to use my own laptop but I lack both a wireless card and a bag for my computer—I don’t really take it out of the apartment ever. This afternoon and bought both but I’m pretty stymied by installing this AirPort Extreme card. It came with multiple booklets and a CD of software… none of which actually tell you how to install it and talk mostly about the AirPort basestation which is a different product all together. Seem a little retarded, Apple… If I’m buying cereal, I don’t expect the label to have the nutrition information for milk on it.

There also multiple warnings that if I install this airport extreme card and my computer actually needed a non-extreme card… it will burst into flames. How do I know if it needs extreme or unleaded? Apple’s website says “I dunno… some use one and some use the other. And they all have the same name and look exactly the same.”

At least the bag worked right away.
