Stuff happened yesterday, but I cna't remember it.
Anyways, today.
Went shopping. Succesful Bluewaterage. Had brekky (yummy 'Bucks brekky...marmite and cheese panini) then hit the shops. First stop the Apple Store, who didn't have what I wanted, but did have a helpful sales guy. He told me to go to an Apple reseller, so I went to BW's only one - John Lewis. There I found a Mac OS X 10.4* compatible USB WiFi dongle for only £24. So I bought that and some headphones for the Urchin so he can listen to his SGA episodes on his computer :)
Also bought some cheap work jeans, so that was all good.
Got home to get 'Wireless internet in seconds'...and three hours later I had finally got the stupid thing to be wireless, but sadly iChat and Firefox won't recognise that I'm connected to the Internet at all, and every time I do anything the connection switches off. And this all stems from the Stupid D-Link box lying. It is not in any way compatible with OS X 10.4.anything. I had to download Ralink drivers just to get it that far.
Reckon I'm going to get a fake Airport card instead, as I can't afford an Airport Card. This USB thing doesn't work and isn't as neat as a little card anyways.
So tomorrow I'll take it back, and prolly end up getting something off eBayski.
Doesn't help that BT only give the most passing of comments that yeah, Macs exist, and may possibly work with BT maybe, they don't really care.
Anyways, then I slept some, worked for Jojo for a bit and now he's cooking something that's yummy.
