Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
Add it to the wishlist: Quicksilver plug-in that ties in directly w/ System Preferences and other system utilities. (E.g., use Quicksilver to turn AirPort on/off…) Or I could get off my ass and become the developer myself.
ZDNet Australia reports: Torvalds switches to Apple: …’My main machine these days is a dual 2GHz G5 (aka PowerPC 970) – it’s physically a regular Apple Mac, although it obviously only runs Linux, so I don’t think you can call it a Mac any more ;)’ he said… Sick. currently playing:KMFDM “Go To Hell” (Fuck […]
Final thoughts of the evening before passing out in a puddle of my own cortical juices… Currently addicted to VoodooPad …er… Lite version anyway. The personal Wiki r0xx0rs my b0xx0rs. I’d heard about it about a month ago and was intrigued. I was a little hesitant to dive in though b/c my notes etc. were […]
Could the flurry of buzz re: Tiger-related features be a sign that we’re to expect it sooner rather than later? Mark your calendars? UPDATE: TUAW speculation (via ThinkSecret that we’re looking at an April ship date… Whether/not they get sued again within the week will be the yardstick by which I measure this rumor’s credibility. […]
Nice little condensed piece from techsoup.org on setting up an OS X server. Saving for later… *snip!* Another idea I find very appealing: iPod shuffles at libraries for Audible content. Supa cool. On the close to home front: “Dartmouth retools for Wi-Fi video”— Potentially disastrous if not executed properly. If I’m reading this correctly, this […]
WebDAV… Who knows anything about it? So far seems interesting but all the info seems relatively vague. The only thing I seem to know for sure is that .Mac uses it and web host does not. currently playing: Photek “Solaris”
iBook Design Flaw: The battery pops out a little too easy. Biggest problem with that? About 20% of the time, if the battery pops out, it throws the system into a state of panic. Symptoms include (1) a very long wait on the “Starting Login Window” phase of the boot cycle, (2) a very long […]
Gruber (condensed): Apple slashes iPod prices across the board but makes a few changes along the way — namely switching from an included Firewire cable to an included USB2.0 cable and all-together removing certain accessories from some of the higher-end packages. Oh, and the shuffle uses a FAT32 filesystem. We’ll return to the FAT32 issue […]
Got Tomcat up and running on localhost:8080 — (hooray!) — w/o conflicting with Resin on localhost:2600 (double-hooray!) — though it will take some thought as to why I would possibly want to run both of these at the same time. Especially since I’ve never had any luck getting either to play nice with Apache. All […]
My youngest brother called me tonight for a recommendation about whether to save up his cash for an iPod, …mini, or …shuffle. Pursuing consumer reports and reliable anecdotal evidence is such a refreshing trait in such a young lad. Not that 15 is really all that young. Lord knows though that I didn’t do that […]
