Apple Support is Amazing

  • 19 Oct, 2006

I know I just wrote about how happy I was with my Apple Store Support experience, but I have to write a follow up. I just keeps getting better. Less than 24 hours after I took the iMac G5 in, it’s now home and working great. It got it’s hard drive replaced, it’s logic board […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

  • 18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]

!! Updated Release Info People have been asking about iPox for Firefox 2 for literally months now. So here is the status. It’s in progress. I have updated the the install files and saw the freak out when Firefox 2 got a hold of it. I’ve started working out the issues and it’s not easy. […]

No Renagade Construction Yet – That I Can See

  • 16 Oct, 2006

We drove past Valleyfair to see if we could see any piles of wood or anything happening with Renagade from the road and couldn’t see anything. We took a picture of Excalibur though though to show everyone what we saw. From what I understand the new coaster should be around here somewhere.

Larry the Cable Guy : Health Inspector

  • 15 Oct, 2006

We rented Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector over the weekend and found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all the bad reviews got our hopes down and when you go into a movie not expecting much, it turns out to be better than you expected. It was funny and worth our rent. […]

HalloFF Released – Sort of.

  • 14 Oct, 2006

I uploaded HalloFF to Mozilla yesterday and they excepted it. Much to my surprise, people are liking it. I say surprise because it’s kinda hacked together and I guess there are some white on white issues that I hadn’t seen before. But the reviews are positive so far. Hopefully I can get the white on […]

Getting Extensions to Work with Firefox 2

  • 11 Oct, 2006

Firefox 2 is now in release candidate 2 so people are giving a whirl left and right. Even I’ve tried it but I’ll save my mini-review for later. One issue that people have is that their extensions don’t work. Then they complain to the Firefox team which does no good. What you really need to […]

iClip vs iClip Lite – Multiple Clipboards

  • 9 Oct, 2006

A while ago I was introduced to iClip. iClip is a multi-clipboard application that records about as many items as you want. It can save the last three or 10 or 20+ clipboard items. Seeing as I have a tendency to copy something, then copy over it before I used the first one, this is […]

Pickin’ Apple and A-maze-ing Corn

  • 8 Oct, 2006

We enjoyed a few fall festivities over the weekend. We went to Deardorff Orchards, an apple orchard just down the road from us and picked our own apples. It was a beautiful day and just being outside enjoying the fall day was great. We also got some great apples and went for a wagon ride. […]
