TimeMachine + AirDisk + Google = Update

Ok, after exhaustive Googling (and adding curse words to the query) I was able to find this post. I tried it, and it worked like a charm. No fuss, no muss.

AirPort+AirDisk+TimeMachine=FAIL!

According to some recent news stories, Time Machine backup on Leopard finally works with USB drives connected to an AirPort Extreme base station via AirDisk. I have been waiting for this update for a long time since I originally bought the setup (AirPort+AirDisk) hoping I could back up to it, so I was really excited by this announcement. Unfortunately, It doesn’t work! I installed all the updates and tried all the prescribed methods, and still this does not work for me. It surprises me that Apple has no documentation of this new feature.

Up and Adium

I had been thinking I needed to cosolidate my IM clients, but have never found a decent solution for the Mac… until now. My friend Jami turned me on to AdiumX which effectively combines all your Instant Messaging acounts into a single app. Supported protocols include AOL, Yahoo!, Jabber, MSN and pretty much every other one you can think of. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks and it’s great. It lets you consolidate people with multiple accounts into one contact so you can hit them up on whichever is currently active, and it offers a highly customizable interface. Plus it’s free (or really cheap if you feel like donating some $$.)
