Music still drops, I’m going to pick up a router+switch with ethernet ports and do AirTunes over ethernet instead… Not sure which router to get though, there is this Linksys “Wireless-G Cable Gateway” that is a cable modem, .g AP, and ethernet switch, all-in-one… might get that coz I think Comcast will start charging me $5/month for my cable modem soon…

Damn, I’m downloading this right now as I type, maybe this would fix my AE audio dropping issue, but somehow I highly doubt it, because I think the problem is microwaves interfering with the WiFi as they both use the ISM band…
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):
Apple and their engineers do seem to have been reading the endless posts on their support forums about dropping Airport Express audio streams and other issues. Tonight, they’ve released two firmware updates–one for the Express (v6.3) and one for the Extreme (v5.7)–that claim to address this and other issues.I’ve updated the base stations in my WDS network and the only issue I was having–dropped streaming audio–hasn’t recurred, so tentatively, I’ll say it’s been a successful update.

Here’s a MIDI of the Radetzky march I found on Wikipedia… feel free to clap along… heh… One of these days I’ll revisit Vienna on New Year for the new year concert…
As usual we popped open a bottle of cham for new year… Daniel came up from LA to hang with me, we took it easy, not very much alcohol this year, just enough… 😉

I finally figured out the cause of my WiFi dropping once in a while; microwave. When I or any of my neighbors use our super powerful GE stainless steel microwave, my WiFi deteriorate so bad that I can’t even load a web page. (and AirTunes just pauses and it might or might not resume, depending on how long it takes to cook the shit in the microwave ;))… Maybe I’ll finally get a old-fashion router+switch, my place is pre-wired, but I just didn’t feel like having a wire… switching to 802.11a isn’t really an option, having an extra pc card as bad as plugging in a cable…

So it’s final, $1B for 5% stake huh? Am I the only one who believes there are much better ways to spend $1B? Like maybe investing into a couple hundred startups? Flickr and Delicious were much cooler than AOL… Is Google really getting too big and too lame? 😉
