Could the flurry of buzz re: Tiger-related features be a sign that we’re to expect it sooner rather than later? Mark your calendars? UPDATE: TUAW speculation (via ThinkSecret that we’re looking at an April ship date… Whether/not they get sued again within the week will be the yardstick by which I measure this rumor’s credibility. […]
Nice little condensed piece from techsoup.org on setting up an OS X server. Saving for later… *snip!* Another idea I find very appealing: iPod shuffles at libraries for Audible content. Supa cool. On the close to home front: “Dartmouth retools for Wi-Fi video”— Potentially disastrous if not executed properly. If I’m reading this correctly, this […]
WebDAV… Who knows anything about it? So far seems interesting but all the info seems relatively vague. The only thing I seem to know for sure is that .Mac uses it and web host does not. currently playing: Photek “Solaris”
iBook Design Flaw: The battery pops out a little too easy. Biggest problem with that? About 20% of the time, if the battery pops out, it throws the system into a state of panic. Symptoms include (1) a very long wait on the “Starting Login Window” phase of the boot cycle, (2) a very long […]
Gruber (condensed): Apple slashes iPod prices across the board but makes a few changes along the way — namely switching from an included Firewire cable to an included USB2.0 cable and all-together removing certain accessories from some of the higher-end packages. Oh, and the shuffle uses a FAT32 filesystem. We’ll return to the FAT32 issue […]
Got Tomcat up and running on localhost:8080 — (hooray!) — w/o conflicting with Resin on localhost:2600 (double-hooray!) — though it will take some thought as to why I would possibly want to run both of these at the same time. Especially since I’ve never had any luck getting either to play nice with Apache. All […]
My youngest brother called me tonight for a recommendation about whether to save up his cash for an iPod, …mini, or …shuffle. Pursuing consumer reports and reliable anecdotal evidence is such a refreshing trait in such a young lad. Not that 15 is really all that young. Lord knows though that I didn’t do that […]
Winding down here. Week was a series of implode/explode moments. Ended on a good note that allowed me to transition into the weekend heaving a big sigh. In to the final chapter of the bathroom renovation project. Cut the check today after the contractor dropped by to go through the leak with me. A few […]
x180 article on setting up Subversion via DarwinPorts. Notes to self: (1) re-re-check out Subversion as a CVS alternative; (2) WebDAV!; (3) DarwinPorts as a Fink alternative?
Via tuaw: re: EFF’s lawsuits against Apple against blogger-spoilers… /sigh The thing that strikes me as holier-than-thou and self-righteous is how the EFF goes straight for the throat and likens the situation to Deep Throat. A more suitable comparison could have been found, I’m sure. Nothing springs instantly to mind but let’s be honest here, […]
