iBook 500 - HD Replacement Instructions

I may need to clean out my dual USB white 600 MHz iBook -- and see if the fan is stuck. This page and

provide some guidance. Might be a chance to replace the HD too ...

Hit TV: 2006 - Unreality TV

TV takes a new direction in 2006. A role playing virtual reality community game is displayed in real time on TV. No player knows when he or she will be on TV.

You read it here first. (Ok, maybe not first.)

RyncX & RsyncXCD for OS X

macosxlabs.org - Documentation

RsyncXCD_v2.1 has been released. It is based on the latest release of bootCD. This CD allows you to pull down from your network server a loadset image folder to a machine that has only its hard drive and CDROM as possible boot sources. This CD will let you connect to your server as an Mac OS X client, and cleanly install your image folder onto a volume that later you will boot from. For best results with older machines, burning at 4x or slower speeds is recommended.

Rsync is a tool of legendary power. This may make it very useful for the rest of us. Especially handy for backups across a wireless LAN.

Now that I have an outstanding Canon Pixma iP4000 printer, this $20 shareware app has become very interesting. iPhoto does NOT do a fantastic job with printing. I'll try it and report back.

Powers of 10 -- updated version of the old demo

Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Secret Worlds: The Universe Within - Interactive Java Tutorial

This version of the old powers of 10 demo goes from 10 million light years (10**23 meters) to 100 attometers (10 ** -16). It stops at quarks -- too bad -- it would be interesting to continue to the Planck length.

I'm struck again by how self-similar the views are until we drop down to a terrestrial scale.

how to add an Airport express to extend (WDS) an Airport Extreme network

macosxhints - Airport Express WDS with third party NAT / DHCP: "This hint describes how to add an Airport express to extend (WDS) an Airport Extreme network that uses some other (wired) host (e.g. a broadband router) to provide DHCP and NAT. The Airport Express Assistant will let you set up WDS automatically, but it insists that the master airport uses NAT and DHCP, and has a static IP address, which means you have to form a separate subnet for the wireless portion of your network.
