Xmas Images

[dr_tectonic]

I realized today that I got two Christmas cards from my grandmother this year. Which is sweet, but sad, too, because I think it's a sign of the fading memory that she often complains about. She's 90, and definitely quite elderly. Same card, mailed two days apart. Still, two cards from Grandma is a card from Grandma twice, which is nice.

I bought some simple frames from Target last night; I'm going to give her a recent picture of me for Christmas this year; I just need to dig a suitable one up and print it out. I also want to print one of me at the WWII memorial in D.C. for my (veteran) grandfather. And I need to find a good one of me and Jerry for my Aunt and her family.

you have been recommended as the resident computer geek.

Does a MAC address work like a credit card number? As in, the first 2/4 digits represent manufacturer, then, say, product type, and then, unique numbering? Or are they completely random?

Google sez:

First six digits are manufacturer, last six are a serial number. (A manufacturer might include model info in the serial number, but I'd guess most don't.)

Beemer, you rock. I found exactly what I was looking for, which was a MAC lookup registry. Thanks for adding to hours of fun as I can now find out what manufacturers have made all of the wireless routers in my neighborhood!

And what, exactly, does this have to do with your thesis?
