The leak in my garage continues unabated, through three plumbers who cant seem to figure out what the problem is, when I keep telling them that the leak isnt *coming from* my condo, its only *ending up* in my condo. They run my showers and flush my toilets, and say, nope, no leak here. And leave.
If that were the only leakage, though, it might be more bearable. I think were moving up on the forty-days-and-forty-nights mark here in SoCal, or maybe it just seems like its got to be divine wrath falling from the sky. Whats clear is that I dont think Ive actually been fully dry in over a week. The basement of our office building has flooded repeatedly, and my classroom — in that basement — is now dank and cold. Enough. Or, in case English just isnt carrying enough weight with the divine these days: *Basta. Ca suffit.*
On a happier note, though, Ive gotten my wi-fi all wid and fid, and so am able to work from my second-floor-landing office nook now. Im still having to negotiate the security issue, though; my after-market [original Airport card](http://www.memorysolutions.com/orapaica1.html) and my new [router](http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WGR614.php) simply cant get together on either WEP or WPA. So right now Im using MAC address control to prevent random folks from glomming onto my bandwidth, but my packets are nonetheless still leaking out all over the neighborhood. Of course, my packets are largely dull, so its probably not an issue, but Im just saying.
