After a few months of flirting w/ Apple’s implementation of the AES-128 encryption scheme (a.k.a. FileVault), I have decided to disable it and wait for the next release. Despite all of my paranoia and desire to keep assorted docs and records as secure as possible, it has req’d too many jumped hoops, headaches, hacks, kludges, […]
After the Tomcat madness, we turn our ear to some folks from work and begin looking in to Resin as an alternative and perhaps better app server. I think I’ll need to jump in somewhere around 1.2 and run from there. Again… All this just to run XSL transforms on the server side. I have […]
Via Tao of Mac: the DockFun! app is a nifty shareware app to manage, maintain, and otherwise rock-out w/ yr OSX dock(s). There’s a neat little Flash movie at the above link to show it off. After about 15 minutes of playing w/ it — it’s a neat toy. Possibly a powerful addition for anyone […]

F[ileV]ault. Love the concept. Hate the implementation. I’ve written a couple of times about my love/hate relationship with Panther’s FileVault feature.

When we lost saw our intrepid heroes, they were running audio cables through the wall to pipe iTunes through the main house speakers. The previous night, Detonator-3 had been making a strange sound. Nothing too abnormal, but the ol’ boxen was given the night off from crunching protein numbers and listening vainly on blocked ports. […]
This Salon.com Technology article goes well beyond “It’s funny because it’s true”… thank fucking god my team isn’t like that… Mr. Davis is threatening to shoot his computer. What this will accomplish is unclear, but he seems convinced it will make him feel better. Looking over his call log, I’m sympathetic. A run of givers […]
In brief: Overloaded at work again (so soon) is roughly equivalent to being unavailable for comment on much of anything. It felt great this weekend to blog a little about assorted things but guilt overwhelms when I think about what’s waiting for me 1st thing Monday a.m. *le sigh* HOWEVER (comma) renewed efforts on the […]
Um… I can see my house from here… Pretty sure that’s it anyway.
