A little update on my adventures with MacFUSE and sshfs… With the 0.1.9 release, they seem to have gotten things working quite a bit better. You can get “bundled” sshfs and SpotlightFS apps that serve as a GUI on top of these respective protocols (and just when I got the command line elements figured out, […]
If you haven’t checked out Firebug for Firefox yet… DO IT NOW. That is to say: if you do any kind of webdev in Firefox, you should have this bad boy in your arsenal. Though I’m usually more of a Camino man myself, this little extension has put me into a Firefox renaissance these past […]
Following up on a couple of references yesterday, I decided to try out sshfs and MacFUSE. To (er…) mixed results. They both seem like tremendously cool ideas and I like the direction this is headed in (from a usability through not necessarily security-related stance); I wanted to try these out. Alas, neither seems to have […]
Ouch. I was way off: The Leopard: OS X 10.5. Nope. Narry a big cat in sight. Oh sure, we’ve got CoreAnimation on an iPhone but what about my existing hardware? Burn. No points. iSoftware. Nope again. No Keynote, no Pages. No iLife ’07. See above re: Leopard? No points. Refreshed Mac minis. Again: nope. […]
In an attempt to stay true to the household’s hostname naming convention, a recently acquired 4GB SanDisk Cruzer needed a name… While “double” may have been more appropriate for a 2GB, I’ve certainly never heard of anyone buckling down to the bar and ordering a quadruple. At any rate, no one “out there” on the […]
Was I out to lunch on this aspect of the Flickr maps when it came out? Or did they just add this recently? Observe: See the little blue dot in the lower-left corner of the thumbnail? When I first loaded up the map this evening I saw that most of them had it. And the […]
I have been trying not to think about this too much but I find myself losing sleep over Anil Dash’s comments about the Stikkit reviews kicking around. The “stinger” line is easy enough to find: I’d settle for one product review that said, “we’re not sure which direction this service is going, but the people […]
Like Gruber, I recently took Stikkit for a beta period test drive. I’ve followed Rael Dornfest’s blog off and on for a couple years now and was curious about this whole new project that he was working on when he started values of n. Then when it was released to a public beta this past […]

Issue: Poor wireless performance in areas of the house. Complicating Factors: Accounting for the “expected” signal decay (i.e., through several walls), there are 4+ WiFi networks detectable from our house. While not positive, it is relatively safe to assume that one of them is causing interference on our channel. Solution: Change channels. Methodology: U.S. standards […]
