eMac went kaput!.. not

July 31, 2007

If there’s one thing that can ruin my day, it will be bricked gadget, lost my Internet connection, or having one of those Monday blues. Okay, maybe there are more than one, but you get the point.

After my HDD went kaput the other day (worry not, it’s ok now), today my eMac having trouble connecting to my house LAN. That means no network connection, no Internet, and (I thought) bricked gadget. That’s two out of the three. Anyway, I thought it was just the cable connection, but turns out the cable (looks like) is ok. After doing all the common-network-troubleshooting steps, it doesn’t get any better, so I started to lose hope and thought that my eMac LAN card is screwed. I started to look for an option: USB WiFi for Mac, and even Mac Mini (just in case..). Bad habit of mine.. whenever I think that it won’t work anymore, I’ll start looking for an alternative solution. Hmm..

Anyway, apparently it was the cable after all. Had no idea what caused it, but after I shortened the cable by a meter or so, the connection comes back to live.

… HOORAHHHH!!! …

That aside..

Regarding Mooi’s latest podcast, I hope I have not made you feel that I’ve abandon you, dear readers. I was just having such a busy week lately, hence less post here. But I have no intention to shut down this blog. I promise I’ll try harder to post regularly.
