We will Miss You Jef
I do not usually post anything on the weekends, but I wanted to give my respect to Jef Raskin who died yesterday.

building dashboard widgets.
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 […]

never trust a computer you can't lift.
Steve Jobs at his finest, and in a tux! Happy belated birthday (yesterday) Macintosh!. Without further rambles: the ever-so-wonderful mac video.

spam…email and blog.
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 […]

.mac webmail
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 […]

iBook logic board failure.
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 […]

iPod Tattoos
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 […]
Apple Hints HOWTOs UNIX
configuring ipfw on mac os x 10.3.
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 […]

Apple replacement parts.
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 […]
Apple
tired of the finder (a boxing match: starring applications that don't play nicely with others).
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)

unix/linux certification.
I have finally reached the point in my career where I need certification. Back in the Mac OS 7-9 days there was no certification programs for us Mac geeks, but now we face job competition with all the UNIX geeks too. Apple now offers certification, but after taking a class on Mac OS X Server […]
