All is well that ends in pizza.

Here's Apple's page on installing the card: [link]

Some other site suggests removing the AirPortSW.pkg file from /Library/Receipts/ and reinstalling the airport software.

Whoot! I *finally* have the internets at home again. Since I'm reinstalling Firefox, anyone have some must-have extensions that I should be seeking out?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like Gmail Notifier. [link]

Also, Google Browser Sync. [link]

And Copy as HTML

And then there's DownThemAll! [link]

Coding and Sleeping

Tab Mix Plus - Essential, the extension I'd pick if there can. be. only one.

All in one Gestures - Mouse gestures, very useful.

Extended Status Bar - It's just a display of stats not functional.

RiteOfTongue - Can spellcheck a selected word.

PDF Download - Get a choice of what to do with PDF files. I find it useful.

There are several versions of DTA. I don't remember what the difference is between the versions. Anyway, you might want to poke around and try another version or maybe some other similar extension.

I'm pretty sure it's the website, but I'll try out the other versions and see if that helps.

ION, Writely no longer requires an invitation to sign up.

eta: Writely is a web-based word processor that allows you to access your documents from any location with internet access. What seems to me to be the most useful feature is that it allows online collaboration.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Firefox extensions I like:

AdBlock

Linkification (makes links out of plain text URLs)

Dictionary Search (right click to look up word in another tab)

LiveJournal Hook (right click to access formatting tags when posting to LJ)
