48-hour report (somewhat late)

Somewhat belated report, 48 er, about 60 hours after the temporary block.  I'll keep it short: The situation is still improved, but Mack the Knife is slowly but surely making his way back.  Looks like the useful window of relief from one of these temporary blocks is between 40 and 48 hours, but during that window it's very good.

So I suppose now, we go look into a more permanent block, now that we know it'll help.

To wrap up other medical status from today, the fissure in my foot is healing well (this time) but isn't there yet, the little toe appears to be doing very well, and the Dreaded Creeping Nether Lurgi seems to have had its last gasp last night and this morning.  Tomorrow I need to call my doctor about renewing the referral to the podistrist, and call the orthopedist about my knees since the long-term benefit of the steroid shot has been precisely nil.  (In fact, even the short-term benefit lasted, like this temporary block, about 48 hours.)

Wireless and loathing in ... well, New England

( Or, why wireless networking is still a pain in the ass, unless you just want to plug it in and use the factory configuration )

Oh ye geeks on my list of readers .... go ye and read geoffstechno.  No, it's not about music; it's about technology, and the interaction between technology and civics in Israel.  The man has some fascinating (and revealing) insights to share, as well as some historical details which should be enshrined as cautionary tales for any technological society desiring not to shoot itself in the collective civic foot.
