So you are bored or need a break and you use Mac OS X 10.4.x. Do you hit F12 and bring up Dashboard? I have to admit, I do not use it as much as I thought I would…but there are some great widgets I would like to share with you. Hula Girl. What is […]
Today was a long day. Oracle in the morning, network authentication, a few WebObjects sessions, and finally building automator actions for sys admins. Information overload. Some cool links to note: Sign up to play with Oracle’s HTML DB Google’s Open Source Software QuirksMode (Hell is other browsers- Sartre) Day 5 summary: WebObjects is back!!
The Apple Design Awards were last night, and the application Comic Life won Best Product New to Mac OS X. To celebrate, I made a real simple (and not very crafty one frame comic. (I will work on making the picture (not thumbnail) the correct size when I get home when I have some time […]
Today was a good day. Lots of information on how to create killer Dashboard widgets, Safari feedback session, in depth information on Color Management, Subversion for the rest of us, and then upgrading to Tiger server. I am exhausted, but learning lots of really cool technologies. I am going to start working on making my […]
Well, who would have guessed that so many Penn Staters (that I either know or know indirectly) are here at WWDC. I sat down next to someone that remembered going out to a bar with me back in college. Across from us at the table sat someone that I worked with at the Penn State […]
It is that time of year again, only this time I got to see Steve in action, live. Fortunately and unfortunately I saw the keynote when Apple announced it’s move to Intel. That is all I care to say now on that. On another note, I am enjoying San Francisco with my wonderful tour guide, […]
Well, I ended up purchasing a mac mini (custom build) and a 23″ Cinema Display. (Why the mac mini? I am not happy with the G5 line as of yet) Anyways, there was no way I was going to let Apple put a gig of RAM in for me for over $300 when I could […]
When I took over doing support while we look for someone to replace our network admin, I was excited, for a moment, about playing with Mac OS X Server. For a quick moment. The first thing I know, I get a phone call from a remote user who cannot reach the server with ftp. I […]
Well, this weekend marked the beginning on my Mac OS X 10.4 experience. I installed Mac OS X 10.4 on my 500mhz G4 iBook, (repaired permissions, used Carbon Copy Cloner, then did a clean install) then after being quite satisfied with the performance of the OS, I decided to hook up the iBook to my […]
Most people that would be reading this are probably very familar with Apple’s web site and know that Mac OS X 10.4 is coming out later this month on April 29th. My random thought for the day…when is Apple going to update their web site design? Apple’s web site design has been very influencial over […]
Well, another certification down: Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist (ACHDS). (This was a little harder than I expected because of all the GUI questions…and I am not used to using a lot of the GUI tools that Apple ships with Mac OS X.) I had to take this first exam in order to get the […]
Over the weekend, I had to take a number of screen shots for a project that I was working on. In Mac OS X, you can take screen shots easily by holding down the Option + Shift +3 keys and then select a section of the screen you want to capture. If all goes well, […]
