I plugged in the device, rewired my network to make more sense, bought a package of velcro strips, shortened some wires that were entirely too long, and redid the power configuration to better balance things out&#8230;and it worked like a <em>charm!<\/em>  Note that at no point did I have to even configure the damn thing.  It just works.  So far, I&#8217;ve only made in-house calls, but the quality seems quite good.  Woo.<\/p>\n<p>My abs hurt like something that hurts a lot.  My brother and I got into this semi-joking competitive mode over the weekend, and ended up doing the &#8220;Extreme Fitness Challenge.&#8221;  It involves a lot of running through mud and laughing.

Based on previous experience, I&#8217;m certain that it&#8217;s, for example, dumping hot water into the linen closets.  Or something.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and we&#8217;re having a party on Saturday.  Anyone within the sound of my keystrokes is welcome.  Stop by around or after 7pm for candy, homebrew, snacks, tunes, and general good times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am filled with giddy, geeky bliss over my new Vonage service.
