Hmm. Does that work? Is that a straight single quote for you guys?
That's the last thing I've got to resolve about posting from my phone. It is driving me crazy with the stupid smart quotes.
That is, as long as I'm not messing anyone up with my <br> <br> routine to force paragraph breaks. Is that annoying anyone or showing up weird in my other posts? You can tell which ones, because they have smart quotes in them. Hee.

Yes, but the other day I do remember seeing a entity in one of your posts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, I have Time Machine doing backups to my Time Capsule. Most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes when I'm using the MacBook away from home, it tries to do a backup, sees there's no Time Capsule, and then gets stuck on the "Stopping Backup" thing - so the clock with the arrow just keeps on spinning. Then when I get home, it keeps on spinning and fails to do any backups. If I go to Enter Time Machine, it just times out trying to connect to the Time Capsule, while Finder hangs.
When this happens I gotta reboot to put things right. Any ideas? (Feel free to make Time Machine / time travel jokes.)

So, my Mac friends, I'm watching a friends' kids this week, and they are a Mac house. Their router goes through a Mac Airport, and about an hour ago the Internet stopped working. The Airport appears to not be on, though it is plugged in. There are no lights or anything. I've tried unplugging, plugging back in, but nothing. Any other ideas?

Verify the outlet is working by plugging something else into it?

I've tried it in several different outlets, so I don't think that's the problem.

I don't have an Airport, but there may be a reset button somewhere on it. On the Airport Express, it's a teeny pinhole just about big enough for a ballpoint pen or a big paper clip.

Tried what seems like the reset button. Nothing. I think I'm going to have to call Apple in the morning.
