Finder Issues

Occasionally my Time Capsule needs to be restarted (using the AirPort Utility) to resolve some networking issues. Usually everything is working fine after the Time Capsule has been restarted, but sometimes external drives connect to the Time Capsule can no longer be accessed. Trying to mount or access the external drive gives me the following error message

Putting my blog on a diet

When ever I include images in a post I use the services of TinyPNG to compress these images. Still I noticed that from time to time loading a blog page took a (relative) long time.

Using the built-in developer tools from Safari I took a look at the Network tab to see that was taking a long time.

Rikomagic troubles

After roughly 3 weeks having the Rikomagic MK06 running it started to act weird’ for lack of a better term. The device was experiencing a number of issues;

  • Network connection was not working, UTP or Wi-Fi, both could get an IP address but nothing seemed to be working
  • Also all of a sudden the Nova Launcher I had selected as default launcher wasn’t working anymore, but at least the original launcher (RKM_launcher V2) still worked.
  • and the device was responding very slowly to user actions
