The Horror!

Hey Gang!

Sooo...I recently left my dayjob, and I was able to work out a purchase of my Power PC Mac G5 because basically my whole life was on the machine and even though it was a few years old, it's a really great machine with really upgraded specs. Here's my pride and joy:


Lo and behold, the machine has been sitting in my home office for like a month now (I have 2 other Macs at home. I know. It's ridiculous). I JUST got around to setting this work Mac up to get some files off it (and blowing the fuse--twice--in my home office from overloading my outlets in the process) and came to find that it has NO AIRPORT CARD.



Dun-Dun_Duuuuuun!

WTF?!

How did I not notice this all these years? I suppose it had something to do with the fact that I had it set up on the direct Ethernet LAN at work for internet access and thus I never HAD to search for a wireless network (plus we didn't have one where my office was located). Anyhow, I've been researching my G5 and it's possible to actually install an Airport Extreme Card in it physically and connect to the fancy-schmancy wireless internet in my house that I've grown completely co-dependent on. I've researched and found the diagrams and instructions that I need:



Now here's where you all come in! I'm going to do another LIVE GEEK GIRL BLOGCAST where I will actually install the card in my G5 with you all watching! Gotta love technology. I just ordered the card today, and as soon as it comes, I'll set up the Blogcast with you guys. Probably sometime next week, I'd say!

So stay tuned and email me or post comments below or TWEET at me with any tips, tricks, warnings or suggestions you have on this topic!

Ok gang, lots more GeekGirl content coming in 2010! You might have noticed that the Roddenberry sponsorship logos are gone off the site, and that's because we are flying solo this year! Lot's of changes coming, and hopefully you guys will be right by my side. :)

Cheers,

GeekGirl :)

I had the same problem back when I started film school and bought a PowerMac (or whatever it was called back then ;) Don't think I'll be able to help though, I took it back to the store and they installed it, but I'll definitely watch the live blog!

I have installed an airport card on older macs and it is not too hard. I am sure you can and will do a good job at it.

Hi Daria,
I'm very interested in seeing you install the airport card. We want to install one on our PC. I can't tell if we need a "card" to go with it. And it looks like the version of airport we need is airport express, not extreme. Do you no longer post your email address. Not sure you're reading these comments. Thanks!
Katie

I think they have a new version of Airport Extreme available. It is reported to be so much better... If I know when the podcast will be I will try to be there... I love shared Geekyness.

[url=http://www.pi7.ru/foto/1491-lyubitelskie-foto-prikoly-18-foto.html ]Что с Ариной Шараповой? [/url] Меня стала страшно нервировать благоверная брата. Вкратце - девушке 35 лет, в данный момант дожидается второго ребенка. Работала мало, продавщицей в магазине. Есть у нее диплом ВУЗа какого-то "имени Васи Пупкина", который никому не нужен. При этом ее мать отписала ей 3-х комнатную квартиру и купила машину. И сейчас эта девушка поучает меня, начитавшись всяких книжек со всякими теориями, как нужно жить. Что деньги - это не главное в жизни, какие все неправильные люди, что рвутся их зарабатывать и т.д. А у меня такая ситуация - по профессии толмач (Мориса Тореза с красным дипломом), презентабельная внешность, опыт работы неплохой помощником-толмачом, но в данный момент немного посидела дома с не очень большим ребенком ((2 года). Поступила в аспирантуру, работаю в понятном вузе и немного толмачом. Так вот, эта мадам (хотя я ее не спрашивала об этом) каждый день мне компостирует мозг, что ребенку нужна мама, и дама обязана выбирать -семья или же карьера, а то выйдет ни там, ни там. При этом у меня нет и никогда не будет халявно свалившейся на меня квартиры, и на ребенка хочу зарабатывать сама (хотя отец ребенка сносно может помочь, у нас с ним нормальные отношения). Вопрос - лучше вообще не общаться с таким человеком, или же все-таки терпеть, раз уж мы родственники?
