Wireless router and e-tagging

Title.

Well, we still have a wired modem anyway, but I finally got round to buying a wireless router for it.
Yay.
Before last week I used a USB wireless adapter connected to my dad's computer, but he since bought a new laptop (pretty much the same model as mine, with a few differences; different processor, some cosmetic differences, less RAM et al, but then I either used the ethernet cable or ran an ad hoc connection with ICS with the cable in the other computer. The latter solution had some issues, so I kept my eye out for routers.
Then I found one.
£29.97.
I don't mind that.
Now I don't depend on the other computer being switched on to use the wireless.
Yay again.
Had a feeling I'd get it today, as we usually go to Tesco on a Tuesday night.

They were the "network issues" I mentioned in my KYT questions to a couple of people.
Speaking of which:
My KYT session is fast approaching.
Please be kind.


So, "e-tagging". A term I made up.
A bit like tagging via graffiti, but electronically.
Let me explain.
I often go into shops that have active electronics (obviously).
Recently (maybe the past month or two) I've taken to typing or writing my username in some form on some devices, be they iPhones or in today's case, a couple of netbooks.
I doubt that anyone here lives anywhere near me, so this may affect none of you, but if you come across anything with ProtoKun7 written in some form, yeah, that'll be me.

I think it was in the shoutbox...

Also, I mentioned an amusing incident in there too, regarding Photobucket and one of my email addresses. :creep:

I need to make my titles more eye-catching. :<

Or make my life more interesting.

Titles are easier.

Try:
**ing up my neighbourhood with some old-school taggin', son!

Or:
Making my mark on the world.

Or even:
Finally got a router.

I was thinking of having the title changed. :creep:
Another minor thing I could've mentioned in the OP, I also bought and installed a 500GB internal hard drive for my computer the other day. :P

Anyways what did you name the network?
 
Rydian
Oh come on, really? One guy was kinda' drunk and named his "hairy balls". His reasoning was "nobody would steal internet from hairy balls!"

It's actually called <derivative of surname> Springs. My dad's choice; I could set it to something else but the name isn't that important.

Nearby, I have scanned and found a network called "RICHE, HACK ME AND I'LL HACK YOU!" or something along those lines. :creep:

That's odd. For the past few months, any time i've gone into an electronics store, i've been unzipping and laying my balls on anything i could.

I call it e-bagging.

I'll have you know that e-tagging is more sanitary and doesn't quite have the same effect on any old ladies that happen to be walking past.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
