That’s Dry

There’s a reason the sidewalk is littered with dead worms: the dry ground is like concrete! I went out to water some dry patches of my lawn last night and literally needed a hammer to put the sprinkler in the ground.

I like having a warm spring like the next guy, but so much heat and so little rain has put a hurting on my lawn. Time to break out more sprinklers before its too late.

More HomePlug

I got a chance to try out my HomePlug networking around the neighborhood. The next-door neighbor’s house picked up the signal just fine. No such luck few doors down at the house of my fellow computer geek, however. We’ll have to network the old-fashioned way with WiFi.

I haven’t tried any other homes, though, so there’s still lots of potential. There are twelve or thirteen (!) identified access points within a stone’s throw of my home, which makes it ripe for a community network. It should be a fun little project.
