So now when I vant to check my Google plus account, I have to get him to Yawn. Oh my Got Allison he must have smelt da chocolate milk on my Imac and thought it vas a giant hersey bar!!! And he ate it. And dere sitting next to my vurk station was my 400 lb St Bernard named Bernard. Da next morning I voke up, went to my vurkstation and MY IMAC vith da Super Booomer ZOOMER battery vas gone. Da odder day, I was drinking some chocolate milk, and I accidentally spilt some of dis chocolate milk on my IMAC. Luckily, everyting was fine. As you know, Liquids and computers do not mix. Professor Albert’s Super Boomer Zoomer Battery actually runs 5 years without a charge. I now attached dis battery to da back of my Imac and I can take it to da beach, da park, even Starbucks, although when I go dere vith dis big computer on my back dere dey tink I am crazy. I just recently invented Professor Albert’s Super Boomer Zoomer Batteryįor my 2005 Imac Computer. Hello Allison, da very best podcaster in da vurld, dis is Professor Albert and I need your help again.Īs you know, I am a motivational music superstar but I am also a inventor. Let’s start out with a dumb question from Professor Albert that I managed to turn into a doctoral dissertation in my answer. Well, we’ve got a packed show today so let’s just dig right in. Thank you George from the bottom of my heart. I think that makes about the 12th cool thing he’s done for the show, on TOP of his unique reviews. It turns out that George from Tulsa bought a brick for the TWiT Brickhouse, in honor of the NosillaCastaways! Isn’t that awesome? I really want to thank George for his generosity on behalf of every NosillaCastaway. Last week during the live show, Steve surprised me with a letter from TWiT. Today is Sunday July 31st, 2011 and this is show number 323. Hi this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Mac Podcast, hosted at, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. In Chit Chat Across the Pond, Mark Dalton from The Tech Lounge at interviews me of all people! I do a review of SpeechTrans from Nuance at and then compare it to the free Google translate at Google Translate. Professor Albert gives his 1 minute review of Lion, and Greg Norton gives us a review of the New Yorker Magazine app for the iPad. Darrell Shandrow of the demonstrates an amazing accessible app called VizWiz that lets him send images to the web for people to explain to him. Bluemango Learning introduces the public beta of Clarify at. Wireless network congestion will be the traffic congestion of our lives.Professor Albert asks what SSH is and what it’s for, I answer with an explanation of how to VNC using Chicken of the VNC, how to SSH using iStumbler and teach how to kill a process from a distance. Six of them on channel 6, four on channel 11, two on chanel 1, and there is actually one claiming to be on channel 9 as well. What I will say, is that I think we'll need to rethink wireless technology, as there are thirteen wireless networks detectable on iStumbler from my living room table. I'm pretty bewildered about what went wrong at a software level, and many people are complaining that these problems emerged after upgrading to Leopard, which is when mine emerged as well (suggesting that it is not merely a hardware issue). Apparently many people were having success by disabling all encryption, but I tried going the other route and enabling WPA2 encryption on the router, and the connection is now working perfectly. For whatever reason, the AirPort Extremes on these defective machines are having issues with the WPA encryption algorithm. Looking through the hodgepodge of suggestions, I found the key that lead to my solution. It turns out this problem is not unique to my MacBook. Quite confused, I plugged it directly into the wireless hub, and once again pages loaded quickly.įor the first time in a long time (I can't remember the last time I had to resort to this for a general computer problem), I googled for help. Even my iPhone was screaming along at previously unseen speeds, but my MacBook continued to lose connection every few seconds, and would take minutes to load (or sometimes refuse to load at all) simple pages.Ĭonfounding the issue was the fact that I was receiving four bars of wireless strength, and that it was a private network with little usage. I couldn't figure it out, especially as a Vista machine was getting fabulous reception in the same place. Yesterday after setting up my wireless router I noticed that my MacBook was getting really miserable reception.
