Tiger’s release yesterday has me relatively jazzed but I’m still holding out for new hardware. The 2.0 GHz G5 iMac would be nice. Here’s to holding your breath… As you can see, even w/o the hardware updates, the iMacs are still shipping w/ 10.3 installed. This being only one day after the release, I guess […]
As an RSVP to Engadget’s article… Non-server versions should ship w/ Tomcat pre-installed and pre-hooked in to Apache. Instant WebDAV for local iCal hosting/sharing. WebDAV client integrated into Finder. Subversion client integrated into Finder. Fix those FileVault bugs once and for all. (Really. Seriously. Not a feature.) iCal needs to export to Excel. Or if […]
KetelOne returns to the fold today with a brand new logic board etc. Went through the usual motions of reporting the updated MAC address to the local sysadmins to get back on to the network at work etc. and launched my productivity back through the roof. Call me superstitious but VNCing across the two machines […]
My AppleCare honeymoon ends today when I came home to a “drop-off attempt” notice from DHL at my home address. This coming after Friday’s call where I was assured that I’d put my request in to them well in advance of when it was scheduled to ship back out. There I was on Friday, all […]
To expand on my last post a little… The “good” qualities of this customer service experience have only continued. First off, the box arrived when they said it would. But then inside the box, past all the foam packaging etc. that they told me would be included, there was a stack of these tape strips […]
After approx. 2 years of steady, happy use, I had my first serious hardware failure on my dear ol’ KetelOne. Indeed, I got stung by the Faulty Logic Board issue. It was the weirdest thing, I was just plopping numbers into one if my Excel spreadsheets when out of nowhere the screen just goes blank. […]
Feeling worse before I’m feeling better, I suppose. Ugh, usually I’m at least feeling OK enough to fit some work in from home (for half-credit on the day where applicable…) but this has really knocked me on my ass. It’s not even like full-blown “Hi! My name is Severe Nausea!” or “I’m Major Nasal Congestion, […]
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 […]
