The Road to Triathlon - March's Sport Totals

The totals for the month of March were:

• Bike: 111 KM (Down 16km on February)
• Run: 50 KM (Down 16km)
• Swim: 6743 Metres (Up 1193km)
• Mountaineering: 3hrs (Down 1 hour)
• Soccer: 2hrs (Down 45mins)
• Gaelic Football: 11h 35mins (Up 9h 20mins)
• Golf: 7h 15mins

I was meant to be increasing the training this month but it all went a bit wrong. Most totals were down on February's and so far April is not looking much better. Getting worried as I have to swim one mile in a river in about 6 weeks time in TriAthy.

Securing a Belkin Wireless Network (belkin54g)

After preaching about security recently to a group of students, they pointed out that I still haven't secured the wireless network in my house. The irony of it all eh. I decided to see how many of my neighbours could connect to my network. Off I went out the front door with the laptop on a field trip. Turns out that only about five or six houses could sniff out the network...as well as passing traffic. Is that bad???

Anyway, in case anybody else is wondering how to secure a Belkin Wireless G Plus Router. You type in the URL http://192.168.2.1 into your web browser. On the Wireless section on the left hand side, click on the Security button. There are a few security options here but the simplest is to select WPA and type in a password of your choice. After that, the router will reboot and from then on if any new user wishes to use your network, they will be prompted to enter the password.
