The Monkey

Thanks Ric. Bought 2.

Many thanks!

Ate, drank, ran. Generally had a good day.

heh, awesome.

Ric, so I lose the built in programs with Leopard? I have iLife '09 (upgrade I think) on disc, does that help me? I've never done a fresh install on a mac, so I'm a little hesitant, but my mac has shown the sluggishness that I associate with needing a clean install. @'reks...laughing.

Jesus, that's awesome Nate.

Is a clean install the way to go?

Dammit. Sorry I didn't make it. Temper tantrums here tonight.

not calling it!

Snow Leopard 2 Feelies Reissue CDs

That all terrifies me. I remember with extreme fondness returning to (college) campus as a student in the fall. September/October is when I miss it most.

Spending Day 2 alone with the Little Monkey. He's having a swimming lesson right now with my parents' housewatcher's daughter. God bless her. I do believe she saved his life just by showing up today.

The Menace makes Grados sound great.

the x10 is a very good IEM. I think "outstandingly wonderful" is overstating it. Just a bit.

Naaman, I definitely agree with you (and Dan). If I had it my way, this place would have at least 2 Cat5 drops in every room. But my parents chose not to heed that advice. At this point, with the structure in place, I'm not so sure how easy/feasible it will be to get it wired up. Add to this the fact that I'm not particularly handy.

Well done, Birgir. Having one beautiful cake ready to go is great. But being able and prepared to go with Plan B with only hours to spare is the sign of a true pro. Did you tell the bride and groom about the adventure?

too easy.

I'd love to fish a line, but it won't be easy here, plus I don't want to cut into the wall and install a box.

It's not really the interference as much as it is coverage. The cable modem is on the second floor, so it's difficult to get that signal in the basement where an Apple TV may go, as well as other internetty stuff. That's why I was thinking that MoCA could be a viable option. Not so much?

Can anyone recommend an alternative to wireless or Cat5? Specifically, I'm wondering if powerline or MoCA are actually viable alternatives.

So in other words, you are in favor of the subforum.

Weaponizing gorillas by giving them ninja training is a good idea.
