Well, I had all but given up on my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) when I stumbled upon this fix deep within the apple forums. Apparently if you change an advance setting for IPv6 and set it to “Local-link only” and it will get back to regular speeds and stability… for about 5 minutes.

This may be my last post on Tabula Rasa for a while…
I finally did get to level 5 (cloned my character before I did though) - then I had to pick some classes for my characters. I figured I would go one for each tree - a soldier and a specialist. I tried out my […]

So, I have been reading a lot about how reviews these days are incredibly inaccurate and want to offer a different take here - multi-part reviews as we get into and play the games.  I agree with Gabe over at Penny Arcade - you cannot just sit down and write a review based on a deadline.  You […]

Just finished playing for a little bit and wanted to share my initial impressions:
After launching into the game I created my first character (on the Pegasus server) and found out something fairly important: once you set a last name in the game, you have it on that server forever. I thought you should be able […]

I had heard of MacHeist a while back and never looked into it but recently saw a post about MacUpdate adding an 11th application to their promo and decided to take a look.  They hooked me right away - some of these apps are pretty nice and for $50 bucks it is hard not to go […]

Not sure about you, but I am having a hard time Facebook is really worth $15 billion. I know Microsoft meant well with its investment, but I would expect a lot more than 1.6 percent if I was putting in $240 million into Facebook. For a company making $150 million in revenue and little profit […]

After burning out on WoW at level 67 I have been shopping MMOs a bit. I don’t know why the MMO grind is appealing, but I always think about going back after a few months. Anyway, after reading a few reviews on Tabula Rasa I decided to try it out. I was going to order […]

It’s the end of an era.
I remember when the CompUSA in Roswell opened and it was the only one nearby. It was next to a Lionel Toy store and I went there with my dad to get a mouse for our Packard Bell 8088 (4.77mhz, baby!). The mouse plugged into the serial port, […]

It’s truly astounding to think of how much of my life is now on the web. All of the things I used to do with Windows applications are now done via sleek web services, with all of the concomitant flexibility and collaboration. The network truly is the computer, and as Wired put it, the network […]

I broke down a few weeks ago and picked up the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player when Amazon was giving away Heroes Season 1 for free with the drive. As with any HD-DVD player right now, you also get 5 free movies by mail - hopefully those will come sometime in the next few months.Anyway, the […]
