Amazon Locker

I decided to have one of my orders delivered to Amazon Locker. As soon as the delivery was confirmed, I headed out to the Amazon Locker location that I had chosen when I placed my order. I arrived at Staples and proceeded tot he Amazon Locker area behind the check-stands. Then I realized that I needed the unique pick-up code which I never received. I called Amazon.com and have the customer service representative to re-send the code. Soon after, I entered the code and one of the locker opened with my order inside. I certainly would use Amazon Locker again whenever necessary. Using Amazon Locker definitely reduce the anxiety of waiting for the package on the delivery day. There’s no need to make sure anyone home to sign for delivery. I can have the package delivered to Amazon Locker nearest to the office.

Lighting condition was poor, and I had to keep my hands steady.

First I adjusted the color and contrast. I soften the background and foreground, keeping the focus on Unicorn T. Kitten.

AirPort Utility: Create hidden network

We had a request from someone to stop AirPort Express broadcasting the SSID, for security purpose.

Hiding Wireless network SSID does not really enhance security.

Unfortunately, this tactic may lead to a false sense of security, as it only impedes casual wireless snooping, and does not stop a determined attack on the network.

There are numerous of tools that can scan any hidden SSID.

Just in case anyone still want to hide their AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme SSID:

In AirPort Utility, go to “Wireless” and click on “Wireless Options…”

AirPort-Express-Wireless-Configuration

Check the box for “Create hidden network”
