Reviews, speculation, and other idle thoughts on hardware, software, firmware…
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” […]
Found (again, so soon): Internet Explorer security hole. This time? Address Bar Spoofing. The thing that bothers me most about it… Someone had to program this into the browser in the first place, didn’t they…?
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.

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 […]
Autometa Reciprocal Peer eXchange Projector (RPXP) is quite possibly very cool. Let’s wait for the mainstream. pardon the pun
Popecountdown.com? Uh. Um. OK. Some selected tid-bits: “I’m hoping for you your ideas about heaven are true; it would suck dying while having wasted your life.” “if u have to die do it on my B-Day” “I wish for him that he goes to heaven, just like everybody else” “Could you maybe canonize me before […]
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…
