So I’ve got a problem I can’t find anyone else having anywhere online.
My wireless router consistently and now constantly is giving all the computers on my home network a “limited or no connectivity” status when connecting to my router. No internet, no networking, nothing…
I don’t think it’s any of the computers on the network because we have two iphones, four laptops, and one desktop connected to it. The desktop is wired and is fine all the time. The wireless computers and phones all get the same “limited or no connectivity” status all at the same time. I mean same time because I reset the router (soft reset) and everything is fine for a random amount of time and all sudden all the computers drop off, switching the connection status from “connected” to “limited or no connectivity”. Usually within an hour or two of the reset. All the computers and phones work on wireless networks other places just fine. I’ve changed settings on the router to default, I’ve hard reseted it, changed network names, changed passwords, and any thing I can think of to try anything.
The kicker is this is the second router to do this… Both times both routers are D-Links and both are/where very close to a Xeon HP Workstation PC which is a pretty ridiculous machine, as in bigger, clunky, and loud.
I also notice that my iphone is messed up and echoed when I’m using it next to the desktop. I wonder if I’m slowly getting radiated or something!
Has anyone ever heard of a router going bad because it’s too close to a box (CPU)? I wonder if anyone has had this same issue?
I can’t find any report of it anywhere online yet. I really don’t want to buy another router. I tried moving both routers to the basement away from the desktop and it’s still acting the same. Wonder if if the router (both) are now damaged and junk!
Hit me up if you have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions!

My family were here in Portland for the day as they made their trek from Southern California to Seattle area. They had lined up the time to come over for a bbq at my newish place and then a walk over to the festivities on Alberta St. I’ve hit up the last 6 months or so of Last Thursdays and I’ve always had a great time. I’m looking forward to the next month’s event as I’ll be able to go as slow as I want to soak in the last one of the summer. It’ll be perfect weather for a bit so enjoy it while it lasts.

Sweeet. A great trip to the many falls surrounding the ever so popular and tourist trap of Mutlnomah Falls. We love visiting and never have a bad time. What’s not to like? A winding road through the forest that leads to many trail heads, beside and along the road water falls, and a peaceful time all out in nature seeing some of the wondrous things it has to offer. <- That kinda sounds cheesy but it's true. It's so nice to have and be able to visit at anytime!
This tiny little link will lead you to the pictures and my picture section that is currently “plugged into” flickr. Enjoy! I know I did!

Again here I am with the reposts but I have to say that I like to share…
Check out my buddy Jim’s HDR’s of Portland. Awesome.

Here’s a few nice links I stumbled upon (not the website StumbleUpon) today while online. I’m currently teaching myself PHP but every once in a while I need to take a break to grasp all the new knowledge. I usually check out my iGoogle page which is now has Google’s new “What’s Popular” module. It’s along the same lines as Digg.
I like this site called ffffound because it features a lot of unusual and unique pictures.
From there I found (I guess it would be ffffound) this site from Julian Beever. He does amazing pavement drawings among other beautiful paintings. It’s awesome work but he does need a website overhaul. Below is one of my favorites.
He uses a technique called Anamorphosis. Very nice work!
