    Morning. Bird Of Paradise flowers - and all kinds of  geraniums, roses and stuff - but especially Strelitzia out in our garden :)

     

    Such a cool looking flower!

    Dana

     

    The flower heads are about the size of two fists on huge (at least ours is) broad-leafed growth four or five feet high :)

    Doodling....

    Love the lighting yes

     

    thx :) Dunno whether this will help anyone, the white circles are the limits of point lights with linear rolloff (falloff?) and the spot lights have volumetrics attached

    Finally somebody came with the key to the thermostat and turned on the heat.  Now it is much warmer inside.

    You should have had him turn up the thermostat outside, too.

    ...bugger, they've been hit a couple times in the last few years. 7.8 is pretty strong. The epicentre  was just north of Christchurch which is still recovering from the 6.3 quake in 2011.  Yeah, anytime there's a big quake on the "ring" I get worried here because of the Cascadia Subduction Zone just off our coast.  Should that slip it is expected to produce a massive quake stronger than the one Japan experienced that same year.

    My new wireless USB adapter is acting up.  Maybe it is overheating.  This is the last time I buy a small USB wifi adapter.

    My new wireless USB adapter is acting up.  Maybe it is overheating.  This is the last time I buy a small USB wifi adapter.

    If you want something bigger than a USB adapter but smaller than a standard router, and affordable, take a look at this:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704290&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Network+-+Wireless+Routers-_-N82E16833704290&gclid=COO1_oGap9ACFdgYgQodL6cEYg&gclsrc=aw.ds

    It can be a wireless client or a wireless router or a repeater or an access point.  As a wireless client it can provide a wired LAN connection to your laptop.  I use one for wireless access to an older smart TV that only has wired LAN connector (i.e. the TV doesn't have USB or built in wireless capability).

    Send some of the rain this way please. There's a drought here, hundreds of acres of the Cherokee National Forest have burned here, still burning. So much smoke.

    Then the WR810N used as a repeater might extend your range if used at some midpoint between your wireless router and your computer.  However, it wouldn't solve the overheating problem of your current wireless tranceiver but you might be able to get away with using your built-in transceiver or a different standard one (i.e. non-high gain) that would not use as much power and get so hot.

    I've never used my WR810N as a repeater so I can't comment on its level of functionality but still it's affordable.  I got mine on sale for $29.
