I couldn’t agree more. Big organizations will be wary of any fundamental technology change including using a new language. But Groovy may just be the answer to that problem as it offers a middle path most organizations may be willing to follow.

For even a novice java developer, it’s a breeze to graduate to Groovy. I have just begun learning it and use it mostly for “scratch pad” testing small pieces of code before I put them in Java.

Comment on Connecting Nintendo Wii wirelessly to Apple Airport Express by Alex

A few months ago I tried connecting my Wii to our Airport Extreme (802.11g). The only setting I changed was the WEP from 40 to 128. The channel was (and is still) set to 1 (Automatic). For some reason, the day after I connected my Wii our wireless network just stopped working and we basically had to reboot the entire network. Ultimately what fixed the whole problem was switching back to the WEP-40.

Now I wanted to try it again, with the WEP 40 settings, however I am worried about this all happening again since the network was down for over a day. What can I do to avoid it? Has problems like this been reported before?

Thank you, Roger! My 15-yr old has been bent out of shape getting his Wii to work with our Airport Extreme wi-fi network. I never really noticed the lock icon in Airport Utility. It works with OS 10.3.9 also.

Thanx for the instructions, but my laptop can’t seem to detect the card. When I insert it, I get `pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.` in the syslog and dmesg. This is with and without the kernel modules loaded.

Any ideas?

Looks good! I’m just not getting my card to work. I get `pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.` when I insert the card. This is with and without the kernel modules loaded…

Any ideas?

Comment on Why should I buy carbon credits? by Daniel

Carbon credits are my business and I agree with you that some companies take advantage of the infancy of the market. Nevertheless, I believe in the system itself, and I believe it is just a matter of finding those people who care enough to provide honest service. Then your money actually will help the environment and raise the level of life for someone in the developing world (with some projects.)
