  • Back in business. Apparently you just can’t mount a gigantic FAT32 drive on a Time Capsule, it does crazy things. Works perfectly w/ HFS+. #
  • Drobo + 2×750GB HDs works great but now my Time Capsule is on the fritz! Switched it out w/ an old Airport base station while I investigate. #
  • Obsessing over long-term data storage at home & online. Trying MobileMe (again), might not be able to live without it. Also, I need a Drobo. #
  • A new addition to the family: my sister Lucie got a brand-new baby iPod nano. It’s her first. :-) #
  • I’m fighting a “common bug” type thing, just like Steve Jobs. Half sick, but fully miserable with its symptoms. #

  • Can one use a network adapter to hook up a USB all-in-one printer to do scanning over an Airport network? I’m thinking thousands have tried. #
  • Worked again. It went better than last time, but I’m still too slow, asking too many frickin’ questions. I wanted to hit the ground running! #
  • Argh! Mac is a computer made by Apple. MAC stands for media access control: every networked computer has a MAC address. Yup. You’re welcome. #
  • Just finished “Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami. Oh my god. Wonderful. Can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m all choked up about it! #
  • @pallbear: I hope you’ll love it too…it’s not a difficult read like the real Kafka! BTW the Kindle version is spotless. Not even one typo. #
