Brought the “time capsule” home. Took a few manual ‘press and hold for 10 seconds’ to finally convince it to connect to my home wireless network.
Yeah!

McBookaire: First Time Warp (oh, Time Machine) Back Up took 4 hours
Wednesday, April 23, 2008The first backup, which I had read takes a while, did.
Four Hours?
What was it writing records with a quill pen?

McBookaire: Time Machine fun
Wednesday, April 23, 2008Fired up the Time machine.
It REQUIRES an inet connection to configure. Or at least I couldn’t figure out how to make it work without one.
It’s backing up MBA as we speak. Feels like about four hours.
Haven’t figured out where to keep the Time Machine — home or at work?
Haven’t figured out how to eject the disk from the ‘MacBookAir Super Drive’ (an external cd drive with a twenty page limited warranty in five languages AND a four page ‘user manual’ with one page of pictures and two pages of ‘regulatory information’ and one sentence of documentation)
“Attach the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to your MacBook Air.” in five languages of course.
No word how to eject the disk, the drive, or the usb cable. (I’ll wait till I power down.) No idea if you can put it on a usb hub between it and MBA!

MCBookAire: Enterprise WEP Leap? Not easy
Tuesday, April 8, 2008Well after two days of playing with McBa at work, I haven’t been able to get it to connect to the corporate LAN. (It is permitted security policy wise!) But, if the McBookAir supports Enterprise WEP with LEAP, it’s not obvious to me.

McBookaire: Serial numbers
Sunday, April 6, 2008So far, I’m pleased with ‘being Martha’ (i.e., maing an extragent purchase like the McBookAir. It’s totally quiet. No heat. And, appears to run for hours between charges. Although a recharge seem to take longer than I expected. Like sipping thru a narrow straw? Keyboard is excellent. Except it’s no WIndows or XPS lay out. I’ll have to get used to it. I’ve got mail and wp working, no sweat. But I have hit my first gripe.
Serial numbers!
Come on guys could you possibly make them longer or in a smaller font?
I’d have preferred that you allow them to be automagic.
The experiment continues!

TECH SERVICE: Book On Blog problem
Friday, April 4, 2008A blog doesn’t lend itself to reading like a book — from beginning to end. So the writer has to “connect” the chapters for his readers, by putting foward and back links on the post itself.

<— Last Chapter: Snidely ties Pearl to track
Pearl hears train.
Next Chapter: Dudley arrives on scene —>

You get the idea. Now I have to do the work.

McBookaire: Apple tells me my order is in the air!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008My one order is coming in three pieces … err, I mean shipments. Hope that’s not prophetic. From China! Don’t know why but I thought Apple as a US based company. Guess it was stupid to think we make anything but mcdonalds in the USA.
