Just cos I
cam and to celebrate the wireless world running full steam ahead here in bjd land. So while I clean my room you can have a look out my window - the quality is crap cos of the drivers for OSX, however they are free and that is the right price :) [

Kylie Kam is back online and I am just about to shutdown the wireless router box and move it into it's new home - so shortly I shall know if Praetor has been completely sucessful - if he didn't then I am off to bed to have a read - at least books don't crash, nor do their drivers become corrupted.
Update: well it worked - I plugged the box in without monitor or keyboard, turned it on and it all still works - well done Praetor. Well it all works except the remote admin thingy - but I am happy with what we got for now. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Praetor came over and put in the hours tonight and got the wireless network back up and running - although we are not sure how long it will last for. Oh well that's WinTel for you. He also set it up so it will work without keyboard and mouse, added a remote admin tool and made it a bit more secure. Wasn't feeling all that chatty tonight so not as excited as last night - but thanks Praetor you are a pro. Hopefully this will also see the return of the Cams.
Speaking of the cams - look some of you 10.1 people a day who visit me click on the cam buttons which send me a message - now if you don't fill in the name and comment section all I get is your ip address - which is very interesting and all but not very friendly - so why not actually type in a message, hey maybe even your name :) [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

SHUT UP!!!! Don't tell ME Praetor is a legend >| true to form he managed to then set about breaking the wireless network trickery so that I am once again grounded to the earth via the ethernet cable - oh yeah and due to the need for replacing the USB card with the WiFi card that is why Kylie Kam is having a break. I now go to fix the wireless drivers to hopefully return myself to wireless goodness. I mean sure Praetor solved the routing issues - but did he stop there, no, no, no, his motto "S'il n'est pas cassˇ cassez-le" [bet you didn't know that Praetor was French ;) actually thanks to
Sherlock3 in
OSX 10.2 for the translation] meant he just had to add one more thing - and now it doesn't work. Oh well - Je veux l'ˇtrangler - as they say ;) [

Shh, don't tell anyone, but
Praetor is legend :) He has come over and got me wireless network trickery all happen most spiffingly. It is so good to just know how things should work - cos then you sit down and do it - and guess what? It did. Posted from the wireless joy which is the laptop - all I need now is wireless power and I will be a very happy man - or a 12 hour battery. Thanks Praetor - good to see all that TAFE time [more like hacking time] has paid off - keep using those powers for good man. [

I am sure I never knew this existed - though I should have - the noble one told me to take a look and
so should you. You don't know him but he is funny and thoughtful - so be amused. [

Steal Your Interface: A History - an interesting little tidbit. And that last sentence should have another about how OS X is not themeable at all. In fact if you read
this you will see that the company which set things up to create so much innovation by the little guy has taken it all away in OS X :( Oh well I like OS X, Aqua and even the Dock SO as long as I can change my dekstop pict I am happy. [

WarWalking - even the US Secret Service is doing it. Of course
they are using their evil Pringle Powers for good. [

thommo moved in yesterday - welcome thommo. And so there are now three people in the house. I am sure we will settle in fast, but it is strange to have an extra person in the place. [
