i followed ohdogg’s ingenious how-to-let-Comcast-install-interweb-without-frying-your-computer technique with fantastic results — i’m on the web, y’all, no extra software necessary! Just follow these two simple steps:

1. Close the door to your ‘home office’, with the 3 computers sitting there conspicuously, before Comcast shows up.
2. make sure the ‘only computer in the house’ is not running windows, or even osX. the tech who came wasn’t quite sure why he couldn’t find the start button, but i the ip address seemed to be all he was after.

lo and behold, intarwebula lives!

in other news: people in seattle seem to have their security in order. of the 10 access points i detected this morning, only one of them didn’t have some form of encryption enabled. and that one seemed to lose its default route after ~10am this morning. wonder if the owner unplugged their uplink on the way out the door…
