I have been looking for good Mac (not MAC) OS and UNIX training opportunities and think I finally came up with the missing piece, Big Nerd Ranch. Over the years, I have looked for good training for Mac OS X/Mac OS X Server, Apache, PHP, and other web technologies, but have often come up empty […]
I found something funny on the web today and wanted to share it: http://geektechnique.org/projects/iNO.html. The link is to a web site that makes fun of how the old Apple mouse looks somewhat similar to the iPod. Nice work!
I do not usually post anything on the weekends, but I wanted to give my respect to Jef Raskin who died yesterday.
I am excited for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) for many reasons, but I am really looking forward to creating some cool dashboard widgets. I am excited to put my XHTML and CSS to work to make some really cool stuff for my desktop! I will be sure and share! On another note, thanks to […]
Steve Jobs at his finest, and in a tux! Happy belated birthday (yesterday) Macintosh!. Without further rambles: the ever-so-wonderful mac video.
I have finally had enough. A few days ago, I decided to start using JunkMatcher with Mail.app because my spam was out of control. I am pleased to say, I am very happy with it and plan to continue using it. On another spam front, I recently had to turn to moderating my comments with […]
I am not a WebObjects programmer, but I know one ;)…but please, I have had just about enough with .mac web mail. With errors like: “Did not receive any response from application. It is possible that the application does not exist, or that the requested url is incorrect.” topped off with a little does of […]
For the past few weeks, A’s 500mhz dual USB iBook has been acting a bit flaky. Every time she or I would open the iBook and wake it from sleep, you would have to carefully adjust the angle of the open lid, a 1/32 of an inch this way or that way could mean you […]
Well, I finally made it over to HP’s web site to look at the “iPod tattoos” and interested to see what these actually look like. I was not sure of the actual process, but it looks pretty much like a label, only it goes over the iPod. I see lots of people with iPods on […]
Sometimes the GUI is awesome. Sometimes you just need more control over your conf files that the GUI offers. I wanted to have more specific firewall rules for my computers and servers running Mac OS X Client, more than the default OS X 10.3 built-in firewall configuration that is provided. First, let’s look at all […]
Well, every once and awhile you will need a part for your computer. Perhaps your dog trips on the PowerBook power cord, and makes you test your reflexes, but your good reflexes cause the PowerBook’s screen to flip back causing the metal…yes metal to break. At this point you would be looking for a top […]
I am tired of the Finder. I am tired of trying to copy something in BBEdit while a BBEdit window is in the foreground, but I end up copying something from GoLive. Today…the Finder thought it was GoLive. Tomorrow? (but damn Mac OS X is pretty)
