Elizabeth’s NaNoWriMo gift came a day early
shhhh, don’t tell her. ok, she knows. I had to ask what she really wanted engraved on it. She is writing a 50,000 word novel in a month along with a lot of other people, and I’m damned proud of her, so I got her a motivational gift (its engraved with the event and her… Continue reading Elizabeth’s NaNoWriMo gift came a day early

My fun with Boot Camp
Boot Camp is Apple’s system for letting one install Windows XP onto a Intel based Mac. Boot Camp partitions your disk into two partitions, one for OS X and one for XP, creates a CD of drivers for XP and then installs XP. I have a copy of XP that came from the launch. It… Continue reading My fun with Boot Camp

Here is a great hint from the Maccast: Read Because the blog uses a horrible UI and makes finding links next to impossible, I’ve included the link to Apple: Apple Repair Program
Aperture trial
I downloaded the 30 day Aperture trial to give it a go. I like the app! I imported my 7500 some odd photos from iPhoto. Took about 8 hours to import, generate thumbnails and previews. Resulting Aperture library is about 1gb larger than the iPhoto library. If you’re into photography and especially if you shoot… Continue reading Aperture trial
Michael, Welcome to level 4
I got a call from my colleague at the airport today. “Steven? Can you check the trash? I think I threw away my ipod” Sure enough, an apple bag with a nike armband and inside that was the brand new red nano. Of course, it was all so light that it ended up tacked onto… Continue reading Michael, Welcome to level 4
Happy Birthday, iPod!
Apple’s iPod turns 5 today. Amazing. 5 years ago Apple was slowly growing again, there were no legal ways to buy online music that were worth a damn and we had cruddy, large, horrible to use hardware to choose from. Thank you, Apple!
Noisy Mac Book Pro fan
Hopefully this evidence will get the Apple store to replace the fan. I know they have the parts now 🙂 I took it there originally because I had to leave the next day for my trip. They heard it, but said it was “in spec” yet ordered the fans anyway. Who thinks this is “in… Continue reading Noisy Mac Book Pro fan

Be wary of your laptop battery
Here are two recent stories of laptop batteries catching fire. I think I’ll be turning my laptop off when I am not around, although I am not sure if that will actually prevent a battery from exploding. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32550 http://wcco.com/consumer/local_story_148150249.html
A couple of days with an Airport Extreme Base Station
ok I really want this to work. I bought a refurb base station at The Mac Store. I did this crazy thing because of my iChat woes and also to test the hardware and latest firmware. Nothing like an overzealous geek. I brought it home and plugged it into my G5. Upon opening the Airport… Continue reading A couple of days with an Airport Extreme Base Station
Initial Airport Extreme tests
LAN and Wifi speeds comparable to WRT54GS. Elizabeth’s PC no connecty to Apple. Probably her older drivers. Have not updated yet. Went back to WRT. Of course Talisman 1.2 RC2 broke wifi, and some firewall issues kept some of it from working at all (no google, etc) so downgraded to RC1. Fun eh? All to… Continue reading Initial Airport Extreme tests
Have I complained about iChat lately?
As you can tell from my mystic posts, I’ve been trying to solve this can’t iChat AV in Tiger issue even though I’m talking to people with PhDs and what not. Or not talking to them should I say. I had Vonage switch to SIP port 5061, but then eliminated the Vonage router altogether and… Continue reading Have I complained about iChat lately?

Macs on “Las Vegas”
WoW, there was just an ad for Macs on the show “Las Vegas” (About a casino) They have an “iLounge” and the head of security says “These new Intel iMacs are great, twice as fast and they have a built in camera” and they cut to the two of them on Photo Booth. I am… Continue reading Macs on “Las Vegas”
