The baby was kicking last night, and I could feel it. Erin was glad to finally have me confirm that she’s not crazy…It was kinda cool, and kinda strange. An interesting experience to say the least.

I mean, I’ve felt babies kick before, so it wasn’t just that. It was the fact that this is our baby kicking that made it feel different. I eventually had to take my hand off of Erin’s belly so that I could get some sleep – otherwise I’d have stayed up all night waiting for the next kick.

On a non-baby related note…I got that US Robotics wireless/wired router from NCIX – because I heard about it via Red Flag Deals it was $199, so when the $100 mail in rebate arrives it will work out to around $120 total (taxes and shipping) Not too bad, considering I paid more than twice that for the old WAP that I got back in February. Anyway, hooking it up and setting it up was pretty simple – I eliminated the need for the Linux router, the hub (which I think is malfunctioning) and the SMC 2655W. My current plan is to use the SMC unit as a wireless connection for the PS2 – I should be able to just hook it up to the network adapter and be off to the races. It’ll be fun to try anyway – the next thing is to try and track down a PS2 network adapter… Then I can pick up that Qcast thing I keep talking about, and Erin can have her music in the livingroom :P

The only problem now is – where do I put the webserver and assorted other computers? We’re planning on turning that room into the baby’s room (better do it soon, I guess) so they’re going to have to get moved somewhere. Likely to the spare room in the basement.
