Notes on a Dual-Mode Airport Extreme Network
Summary: These are followup notes from my attempts to setup a dual-mode Airport Extreme Network. This started at the Apple Discussion Forum for Airport Extreme but since forums have a way of disappearing over time, I wanted to preserve this somewhere else.

The Problem

I have an AppleTV which is 802.11n-capable. It gets media from my iMac which is 802.11n-capable.

Unfortunately I have these other non-802.11n-capable devices: iPhone, MacBook, and a Powerbook. [Ed: just to clarify, all current MacBooks are 802.11n-capable, but when I wrote this I was using a 1st generation MacBook which was neither capable nor upgradable.]

Which means I was getting very little of the 802.11n-goodness. When I was growing up, ‘Does Not Work Up To H”

Over the last years we’ve got a pretty good understanding of what CSS does, how it works and how we can use it for our layouts, typography and visual presentation of the content. However, there are still some attributes that are not so well-known; also, CSS3 offers us new possibilities and tools that need to be understood, learned and then applied in the right context to the right effect.

In this round-up we present fresh useful articles about less-known CSS 2.1 and CSS3 properties as well as an overview of recently published CSS techniques, tools and tips for designers and web-developers. Please stay tuned: next week we will present the second part of this article, featuring fresh CSS3 techniques, tools and resources.

Constructing a Song: Trent Reznor’s Cacophony of Beats

Lots of musicians have studios; Trent Reznor [] has an alchemist’s laboratory. On hiatus from touring, the Nine Inch Nails frontman has stuffed a converted garage with blinking electronic doodads, from modded synthesizers and sequencers to archaic drum machines. Reznor is using all this gear for his new band, How to Destroy Angels. Here’s how one song off the group’s forthcoming EP evolved from a seeming cacophony of beats and weird noise into a dense, polyrhythmic track.

Using a technique they perfected on NIN’s 2007 album, Year Zero, Reznor and producer Atticus Ross [] began by r”

I quit

Last wednesday was my last day as lead singer from Zabatista. I’m no longer part of the band. It has nothing to do with the other guys in the band, they are all really nice guys which are all very talented. As Zabatista we have played together for 5 to 6 years which is a pretty long time. Before Zabatista we have played in the band Vurio for a couple of years.
We’ve had lots of fun rehearsing and performing on various occasions.

I had to quit because I wasn’t enjoying it anymore and it put a huge amount of stress on me.
This decision has  taken me quite some time but now I decided to follow through.

So now the band will be on a search for a new lead vocalist. So if you’re into rock music and live in the Netherlands and want to rehearse in the Utrecht regio then please consider the band Zabatista and go check out their site.  If you’re into songwriting and want to have a considerable amount of input into the songs then don’t hesitate.

For me I will focus on learning to play the guitar and sing along with acoustic sessions just for the fun of it. And hell no, I won’t stop singing. I wish the guys from Zabatista all the best and I will continue to see them because they’re all friends of mine. I just want them to get a real nice new singer.

And as far as the future goes, maybe we’ll perform again together sometime on a stage somewhere.

 

Kind regards,

Jöran
