Reviewable

Tomorrow I'll be catching my first public viewing of World of Color at Disney California Adventure.

I'll review it, but what I'm more interested in is the meal at DCA's Wine Country Trattoria that I'll be having as part of a WOC dinner package.




**I wonder how long I'd have to work for the mouse to equal what they've gotten out of me since childhood??? If you account for inflation and TVM its probably an impossible figure.

Anybody out there have any experience setting up Network Attached Storage?

I just got a NAS RAID array and though my computers can all see it on the network, when I try to access it the "pathway cannot be found". Occasionally the computers will be able to see the contents of the drive briefly before it disappears again, but even then it goes extremely slowly. Connecting the drive directly to one my computers' ethernet port works just fine.

So I think I've tracked it down to a router problem... either because theres some kind of firewall/setting/security thing I can't track down or because I bought the cheapest POS Belkin I could find when I moved here.

OYE.


UPDATE: VICTORY! Added an additional (unnecessary) 10/100 switch between the Belkin Router and my NAS and, like magic, it works. Not sure why or how. But that's ok.

My only Roller Coaster black ball




Check out how they fix X-Scream at the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas-- one of very few rides I won't go on. Do, in part, to my fear of some little device (like the one they change out in this video) failing.

World of Color


Checking out Disney's new World of Color nighttime show tonight at Disney (no 's) California Adventure.

Its a non-public preview so I won't post any reviews... but it should be a fun night.
