More change of address notification work. Spent much of the morning attempting to set up a U.S. Robotics Wireless Access Point and Router (USR5461). Here's my review: the USR5461 would probably have set up easily and worked well if (a) I didn't have static IP addresses, and (b) I didn't have 4 computers, and (c) one of those computers wasn't a web server. Nap. Galen gave me a ride to San Jose to Emery's birthday celebration. An avid hockey fan, he booked a super-deluxe suite at HP Pavilion for tonight's hockey game: the San Jose Sharks versus the Might Ducks of Anaheim. It was my first-ever hockey game, and it was such a treat for the first-time experience to include a really great view and catered food. We all chipped in money for the tickets and suite, but later found out that Emery had "subsidized" the event out of his own pocket. The Ducks won 2 to 0, playing a much stronger game than the Sharks. Although my hometown is Anaheim, the Ducks weren't around when I grew up, so I didn't have much invested in them.
