Awesome.  The hackintosh is really complete now.  :)  I got Bonjour and Time Machine working now with my Time Capsule.  I was following some instructions on how to set my ethernet adaptor into “promiscuous” mode which would supposedly fix it, but it wasn’t working for me.  I could access shares by doing the normal “Connect to Server” stuff in Finder, but shares weren’t being magically found via Bonjour– even after setting en0 to promisc mode.

Why wasn’t ‘ifconfig en0 promisc‘ working?

….  Turns out the ethernet jack I was plugged into was en1.

There’s my blonde moment for the week.  Anyways- that’s fixed now.  :)

That’s right! I’ve been in Athens since Tuesday, as part of a collaborative meeting for a PO1 grant that our lab was just awarded. I gave a presentation over my research so far in the lab, and received a lot of good feedback. I met our main collaborator at Stanford, who has Rb-/- mice and see a really large thymus like my mice have! Very cool stuff! All of the presentations have been interesting, but one that stood out was some embryonic work done in Scotland on human fetal thymi – since we’re not allowed to work on human embryos here in the states, it was nice to see that a lot of the work we do in mouse models correspond well to what they are observing in humans.

Though I have had a good time here, I am ready to get back home. Our lab is moving to a new building (yay!) and there is lots of packing and cleaning to do! Woo hoo!

Oh hells yeah… I edited a couple of lines and recompiled my DSDT.aml file… voila!

My hackintosh is now almost officially complete.

Things that are working:

• Full 1920×1200 resolution with full accelaration on my GTX 280.
• Ethernet
• Sound
• 64bit kernel
• Wireless!  (this one took some work!)

I even got wireless working with My Belkin F5D7050B (v3000) USB 802.11g dongle!  That one took some doing…  Belkin doesn’t release OSX driver so I had to download drivers from Ralink who makes a USB dongle with the same chipset.

Things that still need work:

• System Profiler only shows 512mb on my graphics card.  Is it using the full 1024mb?
• See if I can get wireless to be treated as an “airport” card.

Here she is!  :)

Michelle got an engagement ring worth as much as a small car… and she doesn’t even bother to post pictures of it on our blog.

What’s up with that?
