Time Capsule/ Airport: Change location, change IP

News number one: I just moved to Hillsborough. News number two: Getting Time Capsule / airport to work again has been way harder than you would expect with the typical plug.play Apple usually brings.

Picture of the week

People shouldn’t be surprised by Tr.im
