Re: RJ 45 Aggravation Update

Greetings

May I ask if you have a pair of RJ-45 crimpers?
They usually include a place to cut the cable prior to laying the
wires into the RJ-45 connector.

Cheers

Getting internet sharing to work in Tiger is a nightmare - it takes lots

remember that I had to turn the firewall off but the rest I have forgotten.


As much as I rag on Leopard, at least Apple fixed internet sharing in

ROFLMAO. Right you are. Enlarge = enbiggen. Embarrass = emblush. Or something 
like that.

Reminds me of a writer on my staff who used to make up words when he couldn't 
find the right word in the dictionary because he didn't know how to spell it. 
Amazingly, he always spelled the made-up word correctly (according to English 
usage rules), but couldn't find "real" words even when he was given hints.

OTOH, that's why English is an always evolving, living language. Which is a 
good thing. Imagine what it would be like if the English-speaking world hadn't 
evolved beyond Middle English. If you can't imagine that, try reading a couple 
pages of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" in the original ME text, and 
then figure out what he was talking about. :^)

It appears your iMac doesn't have an Airport card installed?

If you're lucky and have a USB 2.0 G4 iMac you can use faster Airport 
cards or even used a USB wireless adapater. It might be smarter to use 
a USB adapter, generally any with a Broadcom chipset can be recognized 
in OS X identically as Apple "Airport" using all the built-in OS X 
software. Otherwise, an Airport Extreme 802.11b/g card is the OEM card 
for the USB 2.0 G4 iMac, although there may be newer 802.11n cards 
that fit, I don't know?


If you're unlucky and have a prior model with only USB 1.1 you're 
kinda stuck. These use an original Airport 802.11b card, and the USB 
is too slow to go any faster than 802.11b, so even though you could 
use a faster USB adapter, it would still be going slowly because of 
the USB limitation. You can open up the iMac and look for the Airport 
card, and if there's not one installed and you need wireless, buying 
an original Airport 802.11b card is probably the best solution. The 
fastest solution will be to use the wired ethernet cable at 100 Mbps.


FYI maybe this will help: G4 867 Quicksilver -- OS X Tiger 10.4.11, USB 
1.1, no Airport card


After almost a week of total complete hell back in early October when I

UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to get my G4 1.5 GHz Mini to share its 
(Airport/DSL wireless router) Internet connection with the 
aforementioned Quicksilver via Ethernet -- we finally got the 
Quicksilver online with a USB adapter. It's a Belkin 54g USB Network 
Adapter with a driver called Wireless Utility v 1.2.80u which took me a 
whole day to FIND even (BF had an older version of the driver which 
worked on HIS Quicksilver, a dual 1 GHz running Tiger 10.4.3). I'm not 
familiar at all with iMacs (never used one) but this adapter and driver 
got my Quicksilver online, so if your iMac has USB, I don't see why this 
wouldn't work for you too, Jane. Also need to mention: I don't notice 
ANYTHING slow about my Quicksilver's Internet performance at all. At my 
previous residence, the Quicksilver was directly connected to the 
router, which "fed" the Airport-equipped Mini and also my iBook and the 
Quicksilver's connection is just as good either way.

You're correct, scaling does not convey any more detail. 

However it's a better solution for a picture you do not have in the correct 
resolution than letting the mac stretch it.

Here is the image I linked to earlier:



Here it is blown up in SmillaEnlarger to screen size for a 27" iMac:



It's a little soft, a little grainy, but a lot better than just letting the Mac 
stretch it.

For the purposes of having something pretty to have on my desktop it's 
perfectly acceptable, imo. YMMV.

A lot of the pix at APOD  are really big. This 
one  is 
4750x3700 :-)


ha!  We have the same taste in astro stuff.  I grabbed that one this morning!

A lot of the pix at Botany photo of the day, 
 can be traced back to 
their flickr group and retrieved at higher sizes.


Safari don't like that domain.

And a really handy utility SmillaEnlarger 
 is a very useful 
tool for embiggening those smaller desktop pics up to your giant new 
screen size :-)


hum.  Looks interesting.  I'll give it a try.  Thx!

embiggening  *shudder*

That's a kernel panic - the OS itself crashed.  There will be a panic 
log that you can view with Console.app, that might point to what went 
wrong.


In the short term, try rebuilding your kernel cache.  Do this by 
booting into Safe Mode (hold down shift key) then immediately 
rebooting normally.

I admit for an image I HAD to have and could not find in HD upscaling
sometimes gave me an image I could center on the screen and live with for a
while.

But upscaling  for a 23 inch screen leaves a lot to be desired. And this new
to me term of Embiggering ( aka embiggering, etc) is just trying to get
something that is not there.
If it is not in the scan or photo detail cannot be gotten out of thin air or
thin pixels either.

My friend, a photographer searches out high res web images and scans old
materials to provide high quality work at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/.
This material is accessed by the British national archive and other archives
around the world. He also highly recommends Shorpy.com and the actual
Library of Congress pages on Flickr,

Re: Desktop wallpaper for that bigger screen...

Try taking some pictures of your own with a good digital camera.   I have a 
23inch cinema display and a Canon A590.  I am not a photographer but the 
pictures of my kids, my favorite Ferrari, or 100 year old Grandmother look 
great.

Another reason I love my Kensington trackball, the Kensington software lets me 
really fine tune the responsiveness. If I move it fast, all I need to do is 
move the ball through about 90 degrees to whip the cursor all the way across 
the screen.

Well, two things:

A lot of the pix at APOD  are really big. This one 
 is 4750x3700 :-)

A lot of the pix at Botany photo of the day, 
 can be traced back to their flickr 
group and retrieved at higher sizes.

And a really handy utility SmillaEnlarger 
 is a very useful tool for 
embiggening those smaller desktop pics up to your giant new screen size :-)

It turned the images of the Golden Rays here  
(964x645) into something quite nice on my 27" imac. A wee bit grainy, but not 
bad at all, certainly not exceedingly pixelated.

Really, you shouldn't have to remove any of the insulation.  The 
point of the crimper is to make the little spikes dig thru the 
insulation into the wire, to make a good connection.  Alignment is, 
of course, critical.  It also helps to hold your tongue just right 
and mutter an incantation as you squeeze.



How many of the pairs does RJ 45 use?


100Base uses four wires, as two twisted pairs.  The twists and the 
other wires provide shielding.


1000Base uses all of 'em.

There should be some good wikipedia articles on ethernet over twisted 
pair that describes this stuff.
