I was flipping through the channels on the television and stumbled across some sort of disaster movie, I think. There had just been an earthquake in Yellowstone, and reporters were grilling the officials about whether the earthquake had been induced by a volcano. I'm sure Erik knows all about the consequences of a volcanic eruption in Yellowstone.
I didn't get to watch much more than a minute or two of the movie. Karsten came downstairs to watch some more Harry Potter, and Andy wanted to go out to an, uhm, internet cafe to check email.
Jana finally did get an internet connection installed earlier this week, but it seems to be tied to the MAC address of her laptop, so my laptop remains a useless heap of very stylish metal.
I was going to try to configure a wi-fi access point to get around this, but the router was accidentally plugged into the wall without a voltage converter (I guess there are still some electronics devices that are shipped with power supplies capable of running anywhere in the world). A quick flash of sparks and the lingering smell of burning plastic put a quick end to this plan.
