iChat, Snow Leopard, and broken audio workaround

September 16th, 2009  |  11:53 pm

If you’re having audio issues with iChat on Snow Leopard (no audio, only one person gets audio, etc.)—particularly if you have a Time Capsule and a MobileMe account—here’s an unfortunate workaround:

Try turning off Back to My Mac.

I turned it off in System Prefs on both Macs in question, and also turned off Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol on the Time Capsule and audio during chats and screen sharing works again.

Hopefully Apple has a fix for it (and for the damn annoying status message bug with AIM accounts) soon.

Dumping Google Custom Search

I’ve decided to dump Google Custom Search until it’s more customizable and have gone back to the built-in WordPress search. Please let me know if you run into any problems using the search.

In the still of the night...

With the weather being so nice last week, it was the perfect opportunity to take some night photos. I took these out on our deck with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Canon EF 75-300mm lens.

They came out ok, but I really need to get a remote shutter trigger for the camera due to the crazy amount of shake I get from pressing the shutter button down. I guess I’ll have to make a trip to Pro Photo Supply soon.
