WiFi Blogging

Ever since I upgraded to OSX, I've been without my wireless network because the alpha-version drivers for my Orinoco don't work right.

At least, that's what I thought. I gave it another shot today, and it turns out that the problem was in my Airport BaseStation, not the drivers.

I'm posting this from my den right now, not connected to anything except the floor I'm sitting on. This is such a relief!

More Kittens: Here We Go Again

Xweet Xionda is the very proud mama of three more kittens, as of Monday afternoon. This is her second litter.

Unfortunately, because of some weird blood-typing issue which hasn't been explained to me very well yet, we need to hand-feed them for the first eighteen hours. That means sticking a long, thin tube down their throats and into their stomachs, and injecting 3 cc's of goat's milk.

After eighteen hours the mysterious problem clears itself up and the mother can feed the babies.

One of us has to get up at 3:00, and another at 6:00, to feed them. (Try having triplets, Greg! ;-)

Xionda is wearing one of Corinne's nylons as a body sock, so that the babies can't nurse on her at all. She looks hilarious (sorry, no pictures right now), but the kittens don't seem to appreciate it.

Also, it looks like Xodus is going to pop any day now, too. They went into heat within a few days of each other.

RCSearch

Dave Winer pointed to something I'm working on today... but without my knowing it. In fact, he pointed to my test site, running on my desktop workstation!

I only found out because I left my office for about thirty minutes, and returned to find that I had 1100 hits (including images) to my workstation. There had been 50, all mine, when I left.

I honestly don't think it's such a big deal, but I guess that also means there's no reason to keep quiet about it while it's still in developement. It's a search engine for the Radio Community Server, based on the AttSearchEngine.

Although work on this search engine does delay other things, it's only by a little. I've only had to work on this for a few days, and I expect it be available Tuesday or Wednesday.

There's a much bigger announcement for Tuesday morning. I just hope Macrobyte's security is good enough to keep people from finding out about it before the announcement. ;-)
