Flickr

Yes, I'm probably one of the late-bloomr in the flickr craze, but I recently found out that Yahoo! is EOL-ing its photo service. When you go to http://photos.yahoo.com, it will ask you to move your photos to a different service. Since flickr is now owned by Yahoo, they have a special deal (which they don't advertise until AFTER you pick flickr) that will give you 3 months free of the pro account. With a pro account, you will have unlimited upload capability. I've been uploading my old pictures like crazy. This also make me realize that I take WAAY too many pictures. It made me take less pictures on my next outing.

The interface is nice and you feel accomplished when you've uploaded a set of pictures. :) Still a long way to go for me, but at least I have a place to show my pictures instead of the dusty DVDs they're in right now....

I fixed it!!

Yes, 4 months later, a few more grey hairs, I finally figured out what was "wrong" with the router. I decided to remove the 'Connection Name' field from the PPPoE connection (made it blank) and it connected! How weird is that?! I tried it both with the Tomato firmware router and the brand new Buffalo WHS-G54S router I bought to fix this problem (which it failed).
Phewwwwww.. still doesn't make sense, but at least I got it fixed.
