GDad to the rescue!
I had a Popular Science in the throne room, and there was an article about using an old wireless router with DD-WRT to make a client wireless doohickey (technical term = thingamabob) that allows Son to connect his XBox 360 to the Intarweb without dragging a network cable across the doorway to the teevee room.
"Hmmm..." I thought. "I have this old router, and it already has DD-WRT on it, so this ought to take, um... about 5 minutes."
Maybe 10 minutes later, I realized that it was ever so slightly more difficult that that, but five minutes after THAT, we have connectivity. Go, GDad!

Don't you feel like you ought to be awarded a cape after parental feats like that?
SuperParent!!
The boy actually does still bestow me with hugs, even as he quickly approaches 14 years old. I'm getting great rewards.
Did you & GPop install an extra-tall throne in your bathroom, or are you in there with your knees up by your ears?
Or do you lean against the sink while you read magazines?
I had no idea they still made Popular Science. That magazine reminds me, tangentially, of an episode on Monk about a geek-turned-porn-king.
