Welcome!

Welcome to PCWv2.0, the beginning of a bold new era for our favorite Weiners.

Out with the Old, In with the New

If you’re here, you probably have a lot of questions concerning the new site, the domain name switch, etc. So, without further ado, let me explain.
1. Why pcweenies.net?
Ans: This was a tough decision, but ultimately guided by two dominant factors:
a) the inherent limitations of the old site design
b) the need for a clean break from [...]

Router weirdness…

Riddle me this:
I’ve had a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54G) for about a year now. Everything’s worked perfectly, until the last several days. Now, it seems that after a short period of inactivity, my router dies. The only solutions I’ve discovered so far are:
1) Periodically unplug and replug said router (a pain in the you-know-what)
2) Launch [...]

Stairway to Heaven - by the Beatles?

I’m a big fan of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin - so finding this clip was just too bizarre for me not to share…

Router redux

So, yesterday’s router troubles only grew this morning. 4 second uptime, tops - progressively worse than the 4 minute between resets I was experiencing last night. The Linksys wireless router was in its death throes - I should have seen it coming…

Calling all Digg’rs…

Any chance you could add fuel to the fire and digg up the PCW.net relaunch? Danka!

Pismo R.I.P.

This evening my stalwart Powerbook (Pismo 400MHz) died. (What is with these rash strings of hardware failures I’m having as of late?)
This one could have been prevented. It was my fault - I should have not precariously positioned the power cord of the Pismo near the entrance door of my office.
Silly me.
I was upgrading the [...]

My Audio Switching Hero: Sound Menu

I’ve had my Plantronics 650 headset for about 2 weeks now. I’ve been pretty happy with it except for one minor niggle: in order to use it, I would need to make a trip to the Sound Preference under System Preferences to select the headset as my primary audio input and audio output.
