My official HELLO!
on: January 13, 2010, 04:43:19 PM
I've actually been a member of this site for a little over a week now, but I figured I'd make an official thread of my awesome arrival  :D

My name is Abe and I work as a full time IT guy at a university and I'm also the Editor-in-Chief at http://levelupnews.com.  We cover news, deals, info, and reviews for video games, gadgets, and gear.  So if you guys ever need any gaming info/suggestions don't hesitate to ask. :tu:

With the help of everyone's tips and suggestions from my first thread (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,16255.0.html), I am now a happy owner of a Victorinox Spirit, Leatherman Skeletool, Leatherman Squirt P4, and a Leatherman Squirt S4. I know I know...I still owe you guys some pics...

I've found a ton of great information on this site and the community has been wonderfully helpful.  You guys are great!Thank you for helping me start a new addiction :cheers:

Congrats to your boys on their new PS3!

I've heard of other PS3 gamers have had issues connecting with WPA, but were able to connect using other security settings just fine (or in your case, without it).  You may need to add the PS3's MAC address to your routers access list.

If I hear of any other solutions I'll let you know, good luck!
