Wifi Problems

The Atheros AR5007EG in my NC10 netbook has been randomly dropping the wireless connection.
I would have to disable/enable the adaptor for it automatically re-connect.


Changed the driver to previous versions by 'Atheros Communications Inc.' and it still happened.
Changed the driver to the version labelled with 'Microsoft' and it was a lot more stable.


Also worth checking traffic in your area using InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider)
With wireless routers being given away, you can suddenly have neighbours using the same channel.

Easter Shutdown

My PC water cooling setup was not cooling properly, on further inspection the pump and blocks were clogged, with what I assume to be Primochill and dye gone funky.


The Reserator 2 (http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=184) is a maintaince nightmare, probably the reason they stopped making it, so decided buy bits ( mostly XSPC (http://www.xspc.biz/) ) for a new setup. With the PC stripped ready for delivery today, I find out the depot closed for Easter, urgh. Holidays are not so fun when everyone else also has the day off 🙂
