Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
Not with the model I have (apparently) but… As it turns out, some iBook owners are organizing a lawsuit due to some fault logic board ish. Black Cider seems to be leading the charge though there’s some significant pressure coming from Brandon Carolan’s PetitionOnline.com petition (in the top 10 even!). In a way, I was […]
I feel like my vacation is going pretty well. It was excellent to get out last night and revisit good ol’ Club Charles. Of course, this morning I woke up feeling that stern voice in the back of my head muttering about how I’m not doing nearly the amount of work over my break as […]
And to round out this morning’s round of blog entries, we bring a new list to our sidebar o’ blogs: x180.net, home of the weblog of Jame Duncan Davidson. Let’s hope everything I’ve heard so far about his new book are true. B/c if they are, it’s going to make my “OSX in a Nutshell” […]
SO… in response to my revelation about encryption, I figured the only way to save the massive headaches involved with constantly copy/pasting the new sets from encrypted to unencrypted root folders was to automate it. Well, to script it anyway. And b/c OS X is a essentially a cool ‘nix front end, we can do […]
So, ever since the OS X.3 “Panther” upgrade, I’ve been blaming myself for fxxxing up my hosts and/or Apache configuration. This one was just plain escaping me. I was using the same damn httpd.conf as I had been before… I’d gone into NetInfo Manager and removed my added “machines” and then re-added them. Based on […]
I’ve officially found my favorite use for Exposé! Before I’d had a chance to play w/ Panther at all, I was like … “Exposé? Neat idea, but who’ll really need it?” Then I made the upgrade. And messed around with it a little. And I was like … “Wow! That’s really neat! But I don’t […]
Updated to Panther this past week and after a few days of use, ready for to hash it out… First the goods: Despite warnings to the contrary, I’ve not experienced any data corruption as a result of FileVault yet. And maybe it’s just placebo but I feel a lot better now that my personal files […]
Saw this a while back and just left the url sitting on my desktop for … well, too long anyway. More/less full report on all the new features. But those geeky new features. Not so much about iChat or Expose. Yes, so much about FileVault and process management…
Via a Wired article: To cut a long story short, the tedious backup procedure was cavalierly dispensed with after Panther was successfully installed on two other machines earlier in the afternoon: a 1-GHz eMac and a 1.6-GHz PowerMac G5. In both cases, the machines were first backed up to one of OWC’s excellent external FireWire […]
An article on Panther… Written by David Pogue (who else?) for the NYTimes… My 2 favorite lines: FileVault uses an encoding scheme so thorough, Apple says, that a password-guessing computer would need 149 trillion years to break it. Just enough time for Apple to reach Mac OS X 11. …and… And Exposé is probably worth […]
