Air Kitty
Filk of the day: Survival Song. Thanks to Veronica for the link.
Due to a sudden and unexpected rearrangement of my living room, my mac was far, far away from my cable modem. Rather than stretch my favorite crossover ethernet cable across the middle of the room, I went to the Apple Store and got an Airport Express. All the setup software was already on my mac, so I just ran the Airport Setup Assistant and kitty was on the air.
I did have trouble coaxing my free printer into printing through the Airport Express. I followed most of the advice on this printer troubleshooting page, and the step that worked was deleting and recreating the printer queue.
There’s at least one other wireless network in the building, with a cryptic, non-Airport-looking name. This entry was blogged wirelessly.
