This is how I finally got Time Machine to work over WiFi:

1. I plugged my big-ass[1] third-party hard drive into the USB port of the Airport Extreme base station that I had purchased the day before.
2. I let my desktop Mac, connected to the house LAN via Ethernet, discover the base station automatically (it shows up under the "Shared" section in any ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the feedback re: cut tags on (non-LJ) blogs! I've instituted them on Gameshelf and am cautiously optimistic that the site's bounce rate has decreased as a result. It's still pretty crappy even so, but there's other fixes I've got in mind for that ( Read more... )

Picked up one of these dongles at Best Buy yesterday. Less than half the price of a new controller, and it lets me use any wireless 360 controller (of which I own two) with Limburger. This should make debugging much faster. Thank you for the pointer, lediva(LImburger is the name of the stank Windows XP side of my creamy white MacBook, which is otherwise ( Read more... )

I am multiclassed, and I just leveled up in something ( Read more... )

I'm totally doing this this weekend. After three years, my keyboard is really quite disgusting. I'm embarrassed to let other people use it.

So I have this old Mac Classic II that I trashpicked during the summer. It's been sitting on or around the monolith in the living room since then, and since the living room has gotten less cluttered its presence is now more obvious. It's quite handsome, but I would like to have it do something more than merely sit there ( Read more... )

DUDE I totally just trashpicked a working Mac Classic II. It's on the living room monolith making cool hardware-based outer-space noises even as I type. I am yanked back to my days at Andy England's shop and the strange things people would bring in ( Read more... )
