Theater of the Mundane: Move Tech Update

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to have my Comcast cable and Internet service migrated on Saturday (as they originally suggested), but the Cradlepoint 3G router with Sprint AirCard has ensured continued TiVoCast downloads, CoD4 on Xbox Live, and web surfing (work, too). The Airport Extreme is running in bridge mode, so I don’t have to change any wireless settings on my devices. After a quick reformat and disk password keychain addition, I’ve also verified Time Machine AirDisk backup functionality for LAN archiving. (Mozy @ $5/mo is handling the redundant off-site backup of irreplaceable files and photos.) Powerline connectivity and OTA ATSC reception are both good in the new place, though the TiVo units still transfer and receive data too slowly.
