Networking with Macs September 18, 2006

Posted by atharkhan in : Tech , add a comment

Is it just me or was Networking an afterthought with Macs? Seems like the process of finding a network share, mapping it and even using it seems pretty cumbersome. Also, when accessing a NAS device (such as a Maxtor) it seems like the Mac takes longer to list files and start streaming videos.

Could just be my network. Could be an unfair test. Either way, the delay on the Mac is irritating! I am using a Dell D610 PC and a MacBook. Both have 1 GB of RAM and 54G Wireless Network Cards. I wonder if its just some setting (on the Mac) that I don’t know about.

Any ideas?  

This is a test September 18, 2006

Testing Windows Live Writer.

Hmm… this is pretty nice.

Aaroh, Ali Azmat … and Bananaphone!? September 18, 2006

For those of you who kept bugging me about listening (endlessly) to Himesh Reshammiya, I am happy to report that I have (somewhat) moved on. I am now stuck on “Dunya” by Aaroh and pretty much all of Ali Azmat’s “Social Circus.” So for the next few days, you can expect to see that as my Google Talk status.

Oh… and I just rediscovered Raffi’s Bananaphone in my iTunes library (thanks to CoverFlow). Man… I have no idea why that song is so addictive. I think I have been listening to it for an hour now. Wow… my play count is so high that I am embarassed to even list it on here.Â
