MyGeez – I couldn’t find a better name.

I have been sitting here for quite a while debating on whether or not to create a blog or just leave the entire idea alone. Tonight, I decided to create a blog just for the fun of it. I will not go in to details on how “MyGeez” was created, other then two thoughts I had run through my mind when I couldn’t use any of the names I originally had wanted, and the feature that “suggests” a name for you was just not right at all.

While I am sitting here typing out this message, I am doing several things at the moment. One of the things that I am doing is playing EverQuest on the PC, listening to iTunes on the MAC, randomly looking at weather updates on another system, and surfing the web on any of the systems, and debating on getting my laptop and having some fun with that system.

I also had to replace the wireless network adapter in my mother’s computer today since it had apparently died nearly four days ago. So I checked out Staples.com to see if they had deals for under $40.00 USD, and I came across:

http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/
StaplesProductDisplay?prodCatType=1&storeId=
10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=

The Belkin Wireless-G Desktop Adapter was the only product I was able to purchase, and it does not seem to be a bad deal for the price it was being sold for. I must admit, I was disappointed slightly when I seen the packaging saying “up to 400ft”, and Staples saying “up to 1800ft”, and her system getting 44-48 MB when my laptop was getting up to and around 52-54 MB.

You can also see what type of Wireless Access Point (“WAP”) I am running by looking at the address I’ve provided below:

10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=

Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition (my mom’s PC) sees the following (and others if I remember correctly on the Belkin Wireless-G Desktop Adapter):

• Open
  
• Shared
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
• WPA_PSK (TKIP)
• WPA-PSK (TKIP)
• WPA2-PSK (AES)

The bottom line between the Wireless Access Point (“WAP”) and the Belkin Wireless-G Desktop Adapter, they’re not bad choices. The WAP only coasted a few months ago, around $80.00 on sale, but they’re not bad if you’re tight on cash. You can get better, but the two I mentioned are not bad at all.

I will write something else soon, in a couple hours, tomorrow, or soon, but hopefully what I posted is not totally useless. Have a good day, night or a good time where-ever you are at, and happy blogging!
