After upgrading to Leopard the AirPort Disk Utility that was originally installed from the AirPort Extreme N CD was deleted, and I assumed that Leopard did not support auto-mounting of airport connected drives.

However, it does. All I needed to do was reinstall the AirPort Disk Utility from the original CD and all is well. This means (along with the recent Time Machine/AirPort update) that I can enable Time Machine to silently back up over WiFi to a USB drive connected to my AirPort Extreme.

Fantastic!

MacBook Pro-blems

16 February 2008

The left fan on my laptop has failed :( Add this to the list of an under-performing battery, intermittent DVD writer and a somewhat worrying bulge by the power socket, and I think it might be time for me to redeem some AppleCare on this thing… :?

Just found a handy keyboard shortcut to access Front Row without the use of the Apple Remote.

Simply press Apple-Esc and hello Front Row!
