Teething
Seems some people have experienced some odd behaviour on their Airport Extreme’s with the latest firmware. Downgrading and re-upgrading looks like it may just have resolved the issue for me. On the flip side I had a scare coming home last night to add photos from the recent maclab dinner party, seems I’ve confused iPhoto (or perhaps it’s just me), and my largish collection (stored externally due to hdd space limitations) seems to have ‘disappeared’, and the iPhoto Library bundle seems to think it’s a couple of factors smaller than I’d expect. Viewing the package contents reveals it’s all still there, hence the confusion.
Overall the dinner party itself went quite well, although I should have ceased my consumption well before I did, and am grateful I did not partake in the ‘icecream will kill you’ sized deserts that many others braved.
Update (Sunday 22nd March 2009):
Seems when iPhoto couldn’t find the library it decided to recreate it, and created folders in /Volumes/<my network share name>/iPhoto Library, and thus when the network share was mounted finder was getting a little confused as to what was going on. Unmounting the network volume, and moving that smaller iPhoto library seemed to get me back to a recognisable state, as I could then remount the drive, and import the photo’s from the other library. Panic averted
