link-up.

by Rob Friesel

Let’s take a moment to reflect on cool things such as Aiwa’s mp3 recorder headphones. I know I mentioned recently that I got Resin up and running on KetelOne and that I was even able to get it and Apache talking. For this, I am proud. Now if I only had the extra 30 minutes […]

Tuesday eve round-up.

by Rob Friesel

Sitting here waiting for the support on-call cell to ring and getting nothing. Can’t complain about that — though it does bring me back around to thinking about how the service is sketchy out here at best. So where have we been poking our noses lately? The miracles of SCIENCE! Rabbit penis grown in a […]

THE WEEKEND ROOOOOOOOOOOUND-UP! … in all its glory? Much to be b’gock’d about. (1) Got Resin working on KetelOne this weekend. Step in the right direction. Now I just need to figure out how to make it talk to Apache (and vice versa). And convince it to recognize the Xalan jar sitting in its lib […]

the other shoe?

(via cnet…) Apple told to halt ‘world’s fastest’ claims for G5 To Dell: You’re just jealous because you weren’t ballsy enough to use that as your ad slogan. Oh, and where is your 64-bit non-workstation PC line? To consumers: If you’re not reading benchmarks, you’re not researching. If you’re not researching, you don’t need “the […]

Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection. But hey, it’s a […]

VileFault.

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, […]

DockFun!

by Rob Friesel

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 […]

encrypted to a fault.

by Rob Friesel

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. I love^3 the idea of being able to have all of my shit encrypted. Especially since the performance hit is soooooooo small. Some people have commented: “Well what do you need to encrypt though?” […]
