Yep.  It's been getting cooler here lately, but usually it warms up in
September and October.

Yes.  I think the driver is either orinoco or prism2.  Try "modprobe
orinoco" or "modprobe prism2".

Good (but not great) news: I'll be working at So_ny as a
contractor for a 9 month contract.  I start Monday Aug. 23.  (I had to
take a drug test and am getting a background check right now.  So_ny's
policy is regular random drug tests, if you can believe that.)

Noelle is still trudging through work.
