Last night I had a WOL failure so I had to go upstairs to turn the pc on. Bummer. Today I will try doing it remotely from work if the IT dept will give me a port through the firewall. I'm not sure what the firewall is doing so it will be tricky to debug. I put a python script on the home pc when it boots so I should get some sign of life. I forgot to open up a VNC port through the router at home.
Last night fhe lap top went at least 2 hours doing continuous wireless networking and the battery was not exhausted (but I was). Battery is good for an evening of couch-surfing. Mouse battery still on original charge. Really pleased with that mouse.
