A gas station with the mostess

This is a rather mundane topic, but maybe helpful for lazy people like me.

I was complaining to wifey I needed gas for car and it needed a good wash and clean in an out, but I hated going to the stations I was familiar with around Maadi and New Maadi. Told her I did not enjoy standing around for half hour, or more, with my thumb up my arse waiting with not even any place to sit. I had used the Mobil station on Road 9, where I could walk down to Cilantros. But, inevitably when I got back car was not finished as they were working on someone else's where driver had stayed there, and yelled louder than I could being away having a tea.

So she said go to TOTAL station on Corniche located across from TGI Friday's and Fish Market restaurants. I figured if these folks could clean our old jeep from the sand and cement debris she has spilled (wifey is carpenter and jackey of all trades) they could handle my car. But how about the standing around. She advised they had a Cilantro's in the Bonjour convenience store.

So off I went. It is easy for me just to go down street 11 and access to Tora bridge which is direct onto the Corniche. Filled with 95 gas which they had, drove around corner of station and asked for a good clean job outside and in, and made it clear to finish soon as I would be at Cilantros for a few minutes. All good so far.

Entered to Bonjour and had a look around. Saw some windshield fluid which reminded me I needed to add. When paying observed they had quite a comprehensive smoke shop with all kinds of tobacco packages as well as all the various cigarette packs. Sat down and had tea and sandwich and noticed also a HSBC ATM, which was great as next planned stop was to bank to get cash.

OK - I'm a happy camper so far. Out I go and they are just finishing cleaning but standing there they had to do a super job they thought. Saw they had a tire shop beside me. So while waiting asked to check my tire pressure - which was done and I am happy for a 2 LE tip.

Car is now clean and windshield wiper fluid added so went to pay guy who has receipt book. He filled it out and I noticed charge was 20 LE - that is cheap I think. So tipped the cleaning guy and left with smile on my face.

I shall return but likely on Friday Mornings when traffic is a low ebb.

Update from Home Wifi Post

The previous post I had left reader with statement I was going to purchase a new router to improve my Wifi Range. So I did, and went for a Linksys WRT160N purchased from Sistrun on their Website. The Linksys advertising was phenomenal Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router Maximize wireless coverage. Network faster than ever before.

OK here is the adventure and results.

Ordered from Sistrum's web price was 759 LE plus shipping and handling at 28 LE plus 10% sales tax = 805 LE. I ordered COD. Phone call from Sistrum next day to confirm available but price was 783 + 35 KE shipping plus sales tax 10% = 900LE. Said OK and 2 days later it was received at my home. Happy me.

Opened box and nice looking router so disconnected my old Netgear DG 834G and connected up the new pretty Linksys just like old was connected. Inserted the install CD and off we went. It would not install. Phoned Sistrum and they gave me their technical guy and after some discussion and checking internet come to find the Linksys connects to a modem they assume everyone has???? Ok so next step was to modify my netgear router (with modem built in) and disable the wireless so to use as a modem only. My desktop could still not access the Linksys with install disk. Getting kind of pissed by now so as last resort connected my laptop and low and behold installed new Linksys, configured it, and it was working in wireless mode. Happy me.

The range test - connected all my wireless computers - desktop in daughter's bedroom, Linux one downstairs in family room, and the laptop. My desktop was still connected to old Netgear router with ethernet cable. Now, expecting huge numbers and speed from this wireless beasts - only to be hugely disappointed. It was no better than my old Netgear, and actually a bit worse with range. So went back and googled reviews on this Linksys WRT160N and found some on CNET. Looked mostly at negative ones and all these confirmed my findings. Maybe all the positive reviews come from Linksys employee's?

Conlclusion - I am back using my old Netgear proper router. Have a fancy looking LinkSys Broadband wireless manger thing for sale.

Advice - Study new things better than I did. Read users installation guides, check reviews on net before buying junk sold with what I can call false advertising.

Venturer STB7766G Digital TV Converter Box Reviews (DTV)

Venturer STB7766G
Product Details: Reports have shown that this digital TV converter box provides viewers with "2nd tier" picture quality. This means that it is a slight step below the picture quality of the top TV converter boxes but is still way better than analog quality. When watching in HD there are some slight but obvious flaws. The sound quality of this digital TV converter box is very good just like all other digital TV converter boxes we have looked at.

This digital TV converter box is one of only a few analog digital converter boxes that comes with auto aspect ratio. This digital converter comes with an average programming guide. It also comes with individual or auto scan channel tuning, and an on screen signal strength meter. Finally this analog digital converter comes with adjustable closed captioning. This TV converter box does not come with analog pass-through or a universal remote control.

This converter box is pretty good but one we don't recommend. The only major feature it is lacking is analog pass-through but this is a big one.
