This year has really gone fast, it's been a tough one for sure but Sawyer ( with his fits ) has made this last 12 months more enjoyable and meaningful.
Sara’s old Macbook is slowly failing, her screen is dying and last week her airport finally stopped working. I bought an airport card replacement and after an hour of unscrewing 40+ screws and putting it back to together I found the new card didn’t work, that’s what I get for relying on eBay. Instead of buying a new airport card, spending the time to install it only to turn around to not need it later when Sara gets a new laptop I decided on the DWL-G730AP because I could use it for so much more in the future, it’s also about the same price on Amazon than a new airport card.
After hooking it all up this morning and making sure it was in Client Mode ( so it would connect to the wireless network and then share that connection via ethernet ) I couldn’t connect to the configuration panel at 192.168.0.30. After some looking around …
Here’s what to do:
Connect the device via ethernet
Go to System Preferences > Network ( or in spotlight type “Network” and go to the system preferences )
Click “Configure IPv4″ and select “Using DHCP with manual address”.
Enter an IP within the same network as the DLink device. I used 192.168.0.10
Go to 192.168.0.30 and configure the device
DLink doesn’t make it easy here, it makes you think you’re setting up a wireless network instead of connecting, Just scan for available networks and select the one you want to connect to
Enter your credentials so it’s connected.
Go back to your Network preferences and switch back to “Using DHCP”
You’re all set and since the device is configured it shouldn’t need to be setup again.
You may want to upgrade the firmware while you’re at it.
I’m really liking this device. It’s going to be nice to setup wireless hotspots in our future travels.
Sara wanted to know what we could do different next year since it was so crazy and crowded, I suggested 'not going'; although it was still a fun day since we got to meet up with friends.
Like Apple, I don't agree with their business practices all the time but they make exceptional products, so good that I'm not willing to boycott to make an unheard protest.
One of those instances where the client isn't 'from hell', they just want something out of the ordinary and the freelancer thinks it's an impossible task -- they could simply program something to filter uppercase, even for comments. Freelancer fail.
I’m not sure how to express the pure excitement I have for Carrington Build. I’ve already positioned it for a client project next week and I’ve played with a preview build all afternoon.
I’ll probably be posting about it more as I get my hands dirty with it but for now I couldn’t pass up posting about the great news.
Selling a timeshare can be a harrowing experience that leaves nothing but an empty wallet and a feeling of despair. If you truly want to get rid of a timeshare, the best way is to utilize a guaranteed service from Timeshare relief.
