I missed a blog update
July 31st, 2007 by KenricI have my trip to Salt Lake City later this week. I’ll finally get to see the conditions of my townhomes there and meet my PM.
I showed the Westwing Mountain rental home to one couple over the weekend. BTW, there are new pictures on the website.
Things in Houston were coming along. I can’t speak too much about it until its done but basically we (and I mean someone else by “we” because I’m not involved in this part) were under negotiations with a seller and almost had a deal done. But another party came in last minute with a higher offer. So we are back to square one.
And for you tech savvy computer people I got this cool new device called the wireless USB hub. This device sits next to your wireless router and has 5 usb ports. It has to be plugged into your router via cat5. Here’s a review of it.
I can plug my printer, external hard drives, card readers, etc… into it and it’s just like they are directly pluggen into my laptop. Personally, I have 2-3 external hard drives which I use for backup and storage and a printer. Now I can access them all the time wirelessly and print wirelessly. I was going to by a wireless print server, but this thing was just $20 more ($120). No more cables coming out of your laptop (except the power).




Recently I set my parents up with the Airport Extreme, which has USB ports on it. I do have to admit, it was pretty cool being able to print wirelessly from my MacBook. And with the new “n” protocal, the download speeds were incredible!
