introducing Malkovich

by Rob Friesel

Previously alluded to (first here, and then here and here, and then finally here): enter the Malkovich: (more on Flickr) short version: wow. slightly longer version: friggin’ awesome in every respect. detailed version: as previously mentioned there was some confusion/oddness with the LoginHook I planned to use for iTunes Library sync’ing. But that has since […]

Malkovich-Malkovich!

by Rob Friesel

Malkovich arrived this afternoon. It was so tough not to just leave work early to come home and set the thing up. Ahh…. But it’s so nice. Too bad my -LoginHook solution for the “shared Libraries” issue won’t work b/c “LoginHooks” have been deprecated in 10.4. /sigh Other fights to fight though…

This point was chosen based on some […]

by Rob Friesel

Spent an hour trying to deal with this: Only to get frustrated with the fact that it refuses to go in to “Disk Mode” so that I can wipe it’s little brain and make it work again. Alas– bad Stoli. Moved on… A came home and she and I went to town on the yard […]
