    Apple Time Capsule not a Happy VPN Participant

    I have been a happy owner of an Apple Time Capsule for the past month or so. It was very easy to setup and configuring it to work with Time Machine was a breeze and backups seamless. I have been using a Linksys 54GL router as my main router and used the Time Machine as a backup and additional wireless...

    Time Capsule Up and Running

    I found some time this weekend to unpack the Time Capsule, set it up and perform my first back up. I was going to provide the "unboxing" post I mentioned in a previous post but lost interest. I am sure there are a ton of those types of posts out there if someone wants to search for them. One thing I...

    Apple Time Capsule is Delivered

    Today was a great day when the Fed Ex driver showed up two days early with my Apple Time Capsule . This is the best I can show right now: I am going to be on the road for a couple days so I can't do the unboxing photos just yet but I will get to them when I get back. It will be a great moment getting...

    Apple's Time Capsule Cometh

    Well, after placing my order on January 20, 2008 my 1 TB Time Capsule has shipped today! I am very anxious to get this little toy and be able to have Time Machine backup to my Time Capsule without me even thinking about it. I am planning to take a few pics of the unboxing, not because I really have to...

    The iPhone and iTunes surprise me with a cool feature

    I have been using an iPhone for about 5 months now and love the thing, it is the single greatest gadget I have ever bought. One reason I bought it was to replace my aging iPod Mini. I listen to as many podcasts as I can on my commute to client sites but also listen to the same podcasts on my PC when...

    Overview of Latest Leopard Update from Wired

    Apple released Leopard update 10.5.2 a couple days ago which is intended to fix many of the common complaints with the operating system. I ran the update as soon as I had heard it was available and it installed without problem. I did hear a few people having problems but they seemed like isolated incidents...

    MarsEdit 2.1 is the best blogging software on the Mac

    I know the title is a bit subjective but I had to make the claim. You see, I am one of those Windows converts to the Mac you read about and I really like it. I admit I am not a 100% convert as my daily work includes writing applications on .NET and, well I still use my Windows XP desktop and Dell laptop...

    Setting up MySQL on Leopard

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard this weekend. No, Tiger was working fine but I wanted to have the latest Mac OS like everyone else, so what the heck. The installation went very smooth thanks to a nice blog post over at Redline Software . I backed up using SuperDuper and booted off...

    Apple MacBook Air - Why Would I Want One?

    Apple took the covers off its new sub-notebook, MacBook Air , at MacWorld 2008. The rumors about the notebook were true and it appears leaking a bit of information here and there is Apple's style and works by creating a stir. The notebook looks to be with the historical Apple style, very well thought...
