    A BIZZARE psuedo server!? Pc-Mac (to use Mac's Bandwidth!)

    Well, that would require a dedicated computer to do that: which means that I would have to 1)buy another computer, in which I'm not interested in doing , for that also entails that I would have to buiy a wireless connection kit for that computer itself. My airport is already dedicated...

    Fink is Finking me off!

    I dunno why. .but when I downloaded the X-Darwin and ran the commands like you typed, it installed it no problem. However when I tried to launch it from the User-App-Sw-XDarwin Folder, it would boot for like a few seconds and then just disappear. I assumed I installed x86. I could be wrong...

    Fink is Finking me off!

    Here's the gist. I have Fink 0.31, macosx 10.1.2, and December's Developers Tools installed. In which I thought was needed to accomplish anything. I can't seem to be able to install anything. In the terminal mode, in the Fink app, the + and - (for adding and deleting) doesn't seem to do...

    [HOWTO] - Setup FTP access on your OSX machine.

    I wonder how exactly one could do that via airport network. (since the laptop are assigned different IP than what is assigned on the base station). It'll be sort of hopping around. Schehan

    Ultimate OpenSource MacOSX 10.1.2 SET UP?

    If you guys are wondering why I didn't update it to include iPhoto. Basically, it's a photo-editing for a 2 year old chimp named Alice. GIMP is a full fledged photo-editing tool. I've been looking at cool tools which allows you to monitor your network. NetMonitor is an excellent addition...
