For Google's sake:
New housemate has an old 1st-gen iBook 466mhz (blue!) running OS X 10.2.
Our house is sharing a Qwest DSL line using one of their integrated routers.
It wasn't able to get on our house wireless (since the house used WPA2 and WPA support is for OS X 10.3 and later).
Even after a 10.3 upgrade, even after switching to 40-bit WEP, and even after shutting off encryption entirely, the symptom was the same - it could SEE the wifi network, it could tell a password was requiered (when encryption was on), but would nearly immediately kick out an error of 'There was an error joining the AirPort network "foo"'
Even booting an Ubuntu PowerPC liveCD showed (from the command line) thaat the card would associate with the AP, then disconnect 1-2 seconds later.
Solution: WiFi router was set up to use Wireless 'G' and 'B' both. Disabling 'G' and setting the router back to the older 'B' only caused the Mac to be able to sign on perfectly.

 nostalgichmmm... Firefox 3 Release Party
It looks like there's no preexisting party for the FireFox 3 release for Denver/Boulder ( only one I saw was in Colorado Springs ) - so I figure the Superior Buffalo Wild Wings (which has wifi, unlike the nearby Old Chicago) might be a good place to go drink non-free Beer because I like Free software. :) Current Mood:
 sillyHousemate's cat: NOT FAIL
"OHAI, I brought you a fuzzy bunny friend but I eated half already. What's with the plastic bag? Oh, saving it for later? That large squishy yellow organ I left next to it is particularly choice. Hm, you look like you frowed up in your mouf a little." —Housemate's cat Dulce, who I am currently catsitting for. UPDATE: The half-a-bunny was followed today with half-a-mouse. Again with a large organ untouched. I think it's a stomach. read this.

 bouncyThe Band's Visit
Rolled out of bed at 5 or 6 something (hooray for being on-call), couldn't get back to sleep, so I hauled my butt down to the gym... did 45min on the Stairmaster, then swam 5 (!) laps with the ankle-floaty-buoy thing before my arms gave out on me (I suck! but it's because I was at the gym doing arm exercises yesterday!), then spent a very, very awesome half hour alternating between the 180° dry sauna, and the 110° steamroom. That, in itself, makes hitting a fitness club worth the $$. Current Mood:
