Inside Greg’s Head v.1

Random thoughts from my brain to yours.

Small Kitten? Nope. Big Hand Though!

Peebles
The caption on this photo doesn't even make sense. It says that Mr. Peebles is only 6.1 inches high and 19.2 inches long, making him the world's smallest cat. Last time I checked, that seems like a pretty standard size for a cat. In fact, I think that's pretty huge for a kitten! Maybe the caption should address the amazing dimensions of what appears to be the the world's largest hand that's holding this very normal kitten!

Fixing WiFi Connectivity Problem (OS X 10.5.6)

Shortly after I upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 on my MacBook Pro, I was unable to stay connected to my home 802.11n AirPort Extreme network. After a bit of research, I came up with the following solution. Not sure if all the steps are necessary, but it worked for me. So, if you're having problems, give it a shot! If these steps solved your problem (or not), please let me know in the comments.

1. Turn AirPort off.
2. Repair disk permissions via Disk Utility.
3. Disable Back To My Mac and log out of MobileMe.
4. Install Combo updater (available here).
5. Reset SMC (instructions here).
6. Boot and turn AirPort on.

Hope this helps!

Abandoned Photography

I've always loved photos of old, abandoned buildings and recently came across this page with some great shots. It's amazing how a single shot can get your mind wandering about the past. Here are a few samples from the site.
