Got my wireless network card (NetGear WG511) today. I won’t be able to test it out till I go to BYU on Tuesday. It’ll be pretty nice.

Bought a small calling card from idphonecard.com so I can call Thailand. It seems to have good rates, at least as far as I could tell. (Another place I checked was thaitel.com and it seemed good too, but idphonecard looked better.) Haven’t actually called Thailand yet, though. Speaking of which, I still haven’t got Thai working nicely on my laptop. Gaim works okay, but I can’t change the Thai font and so it’s a small, hard-to-read one. Mutt refuses to do anything with Thai no matter what. ~sigh~ Vim can do Thai okay, but the tone marks aren’t placed on top of their accompanying characters. Firefox does Thai fine. I installed the Thai fonts that come with Windows but I’m having trouble to get any applications to use them. Someday, someday it’ll all be nicely set up on here… Sometime next week I’m going to try some of the Thai distributions and see how they get it to work. Oh, I’m still stuck at 800x600 on here — I’ll have to see if it’s my version of X.org. (I have an Intel 82852 card which uses the i810 driver but it’s not working, and I get weird freezes/X crashes with something about ‘[drm:i830]’.)
