Networking advice from the little one

I was having a chat with Wee Liz today, and to my surprise, she started telling me about what kind of home networking equipment we should be looking at.

See, I need to upgrade one of the computers. Our cable modem is pretty fast, but it tops out around 5Mbps or so. Given that, I've been thinking that a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) on the motherboard would be good enough.

But she thinks it should be faster. She looked at me today and said "GigE, GigE". (e.g. Gigabit Ethernet, or 1000Mbps) She must be planning on some serious data transfers.

At least she didn't ask for OC-192. (It could be worse; Katie once told me "Da Da Da die die die!")

Another milestone!

Today, Elizabeth's weight was measured at 8lb 9oz. (3886g)

Why is this a milestone? Well, that was the exact weight of her big sister on the day she was born. And it's only taken four and a half months to get there.

Now Wee Liz can start to catch up to Kate.
