most of you laptop owners have probably experienced having to reset your laptops network settings anytime you change networks. whether it involves setting it to DHCP, or static IP, regardless you spend time doing so. Ultimately for me, i have to change between dhcp and static ip from work and home. I had to do this a lot at my old job, but this was easily solved by only using wireless at work then plugging in at home.

I have wanted a utility for some time now that will manage this for me. I didn’t want a batch file, and i didn’t want some bastardized fix. I wanted something modern and something effective. I like cool software that works. I’m over the console based home brew shit, unless of course its chad or joels home brew.. then its usually something really nice and well done.

I went looking around for a solution and enlisted chad’s expertise. Thanks chad! I actually purchased a product and it is working really well. It is called mobile net switch. It has a very clean and friendly user interface. And I’m a sucker for packaging, but it had the best website and production information and display compared to its competitors.

It has a lot of really useful features and can be quite powerful when utilized. I will probably spend more time messing with it later to see if i got my moneys worth. $32.44 USD.

Last nite i went to plummers furniture store. they have an extremely large selection of furniture and most of it is incredibly nice. The website itself doesn’t do the actual store any justice IMO. I was glad i took the trip and it definitely helped to put the whole furniture search in perspective.

Their bedroom pieces are classic. They were extremely cost effective and very well done, unfortunately the office furniture, while also in great taste, was outrageously priced. There is something specific about office furniture that just seems to go above and beyond the call of my credit card. Comparable bookcases, which didn’t even have the exact style preference i wanted, were about $200.00 more than the west elm bookcases. The entertainment consoles were either far to vast or far too crappy and Ikea-like.

In the end i discovered, that even after the surcharge price gouging, I would end up spending far less and get exactly what i wanted via west elm. go figure.

Here is the bookcase that i ordered. I do have to assemble it, which I’m not looking forward to. I’m getting old and lazy and “do it yourself” crap is highly overrated.

This is the entertainment console i ordered. Its extremely simple which i really liked. It will go with my new “room look” very well.
