A beautiful Spring morning

Yesterday's comment to the earlier Time Capsule (TC) post reminded me it was ages since I had updated this journal,, I have been making notes with MindNode Pro on iMac and the vanilla version on AIR, but, here goes on this early morning.

Yesterday Susan SMS'ed med about massive thunderclouds approaching Nærsnes. I couldn't hear any but pulled the plugs anyway. We had a hail storm, and once it had well and truly passed, I plugged everything back in, but the wifi net didn't come up. I then spent an hour or more confirming the Time Capsule had died. possibly hastened to its end by the full backup of iMac using Time Machine earlier that day.

I had to reconfigure things so the Airport Extreme took over as Internet router from TC, which required me to reset the AIrport Express to the new network name AE 245 (n/b & g compatible). God this short amount of text has used 8% of AIR battery..

In the end all but Squeezebox wi-fi worked, and contact with Eplehuset gave me the hope that the repair might be covered by AppleCare agreements on both iMac and AIR. :)

Susan kindly agreed to a Sandvika trip so I can drop it off today.

That's the news for now.

Posting from Safari 4

Well I have the AIR back now, and have been busy installing replacement apps for the Readerware set, i.e. Bookpedia, CDpedia and DVDpedia. The three databases are on the Time Capsule's Data folder and accessible therefore both from iMac and AIR.

Macbook AIR in for repair

Its been a while, but I thought I should add that with just a couple of weeks to go of my warranty the iSight camera gave up! So I took it in to Eplehuset by bus, through the sludge.. was surprised just how small Eplehuset in Sandvika Storcenter was. I wonder whether they will advise just what was repaired when I get it back?
