Leopard network bugs -Update

2007-11-27T10:11:00.000Z

I was playing around with network settings, and after a couple of attempts managed to save the network proxy settings for both manual and automatic configurations. And things appear to work now as they are supposed to. Will have to wait and see if it stays this way.

phew!

Leopard network bugs

2007-11-27T09:34:00.000Z

I have been using Apple's Leopard since it's release. I upgraded because i wanted to re-install my powerbook G4 (it had accumulated too much junk with two years of trying out all kinds of beta software). Anyway, I've upgraded now, and it's mostly fine... except, if you are behind a proxy (like at work) many things appear to have problems. Some of the applications that I have noticed that do have problems:
1) Gmail notifier for mac... crashes after login. Funnily, it appears to read the emails correctly the first time.. but thereafter, it cannot remain functioning.
2) Registering your leopard.. doesn't work from my office.
3) Google calendar to iCal synch using google's link. fails to update.
4) I got a .Mac account to backup and store data... but appears that won't work behind a proxy because it somehow calls back to apple.Mac without going to the proxy. Apple's tech support is still working on a reply to my query.

All of these work fine when I'm at home, and there's no proxy.

So.. if you see any of those pc and Mac comparison ads... take it with a generous fistfull of rock salt!

Amazon's Kindle

Amazon has release a new product called Kindle, which allows users to read ebooks. The amazing thing, in my opinion, is not the fact that is it light, paper like lcd displays etc. The subscription free cell phone network linkage for all kindle devices is what's interesting.

What is the fist hack of this device going to be?

What new devices are going to turn up with subscription free connection to cell phone networks?

Almighty Google!

I've finally reworked my website, if you can call it reworked. All i've actually done is move all my pages from my own server to Google's hosted service. All of it is free, but it works pretty well. Creating and publishing html pages, without much of html coding is a fantastic reason to move. I've even moved my personal domain email services to google, and get 5 gigs per account free.

Only thing left is to move this blog set up into my home page and link it... more meaningfully than the current link!
