Knights of the Old Republic


KOTOR has been crashing on me between scenes. It would load the next scene and then crash. Some days I can play for hours and others I can't get out of a small area. I also have problems just running around in some areas. The characters just get locked into one place.

I have been able to find some articles that say that it's due to Rosetta. The game isn't Intel compatible. Great.

MacBook random shut down

I've got the problem too and there's tons of posts on the web about the problem. I'm just not sure how to handle the problem since I'm here in Japan, but bought my computer in America. I've got some calls to make.

Wireless for Casey and Chieko


Went to Hyakuman Volt today to grab a wireless router for Casey-folks. We decided on an NEC Warpstar WR7850S, I think. We got the router set up alright, but weren't able to get the USB adapter to work with his iBook. If he doesn't buy an Airport card then he needs to use a Mac compatible USB adapter.

Currently the plan is to use a similar router which will allow them to use their work computers at home wirelessly. In the meanwhile, we're gonna look for either an Airport card here in Japan, or grab one of those Mac compatible USB adapters metioned above. Unfortunately there aren't many of either available.

Bring me Blogger Beta!


I've finally done some reading about the beta version of Blogger and it sounds pretty cool. I'm most interested in labels right now. That would be perfect. I wouldn't have to search backwards through my blog to find certain posts. The process is a pain in the ass. I can't wait to upgrade.
