I do know one person who would be almost perfect to host him. They own a very indulged parrot, have a spare room, would be fine with leaving a guest alone, have a professional quality internet connection that can use free software (they run a magazine out of their home). They would have no objection to a guest checking email at the table - their modus oporendi when they have no guest which they normally put aside for guests. And they usually don't have time to cook, and just order delivery takeout and would be find with a guest choosing which takeout to order. The one fatal flaw: as a I said a highly indulged parrot, for whose comfort they keep the house at a minimum of 72 degrees F.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

I've been using an Airport Express for my wireless network for several years now. The past few months, there have been a bunch of times when it stopped working, and I had to unplug it and plug it in again to get it to work. Today, it seems to have stopped working entirely -- the light stays flashing orange, and there's no signal. Is there something I can do to fix this, or should I just figure it's at the end of its life and get a new one?

Hey. New board.
I'm surprised your Airport Express lasted so long as a primary router - I had bad luck with them, and eventually bit the bullet and switched to the the Extreme.
I'd go for a new one, honestly.

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, anyone having problems with the new Google Reader? Sometimes I'll click on a feed in the left column and it takes forever to load. (For values of forever = "I get tired of waiting and do some work for a while and then come back and the feed usually has loaded by then.")

I haven't made up my mind if I like the new version (besides the loading time issue). But it looks like they have way too much whitespace and crap above the selected feed when it displays, so I imagine this would make Reader more sucky on my 11" Macbook Air.

The new Reader is awful - it's so "clean" it's practically unreadable.
