Coding and Sleeping

I ran my computer's configuration through the newegg power calculator now that I stuck in another hard drive.

I came up with 546 Watts. My computer is apparently a bit of a power hog. I've got a 650 Watt power supply so I'm covered, but if I upgrade the CPU like I would like to at some point (i.e. when it gets cheap) I get 630 Watts. I guess I'm glad I went with a power supply that seemed like overkill at the time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What's the problem?

I can see the Wi-Fi, but Safari keeps telling me that it can't open pages because it can't find the server.

Is this on your home network? Go to Settings → Wi-Fi and make sure that you're connected to the right network.

Click on the right arrow next to the network it's connected to, and try the "Renew Lease" button. Make sure it has an IP address, default router, and at least one DNS server.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I can see the Wi-Fi, but Safari keeps telling me that it can't open pages because it can't find the server.

When something like that happened to mine, I fixed it by re-booting my wireless router.

Tom, I checked all of that and all the info is there.

dcp, I will try that and report back.

Rebooting the router for the win!

Thank you both!

Buffistas rule!

Apple just now released iPhone OS 3.0.1 to fix the issue.

All is well that ends in pizza.
