Replacing a Powerbook Hard Drive

  • 27 Mar, 2006

The new hard drive for our Powerbook 667 arrived Saturday along with a few special tools. In no time I had the Powerbook back up and running. It wasn’t that hard actually. Especially after watching one of Other World Computing’s videos. I just had to remove a few screws (with a special Torx Screwdriver) and […]

Style Mozilla Lightning

  • 23 Mar, 2006

I was excited to hear about Mozilla’s latest extension called Lightning. It is a calendar extension that is nicely integrated into Thunderbird. Granted this is version 0.1, and there are a lot of bugs, but it is quite nice. A great start to a much needed Thunderbird addon. One thing that bugged me though was […]

Our Powerbook is in a Coma

  • 21 Mar, 2006

It happened Sunday night around 7:45pm. My My wife’s Powerbook 667 slipped into a coma. It will start up a little, but stops at a blue screen. Never loading the desktop. Even disk utility can’t help. I was able to hook it up to life support though. Via target disk mode, my iMac was able […]

iPox Wiki

  • 19 Mar, 2006

I’ve created an iPox wiki to hopefully help me keep track of things that still need to be done.  Not only can I make the lists, but so can you.  It’s open to the public right now and we’ll see how that goes.  🙂

Playing with Apple’s Photo Booth

  • 17 Mar, 2006

One of my new applications is Photo Booth from Apple. It’s a simple application that ties into my iSight web camera and takes still pictures. You can also select filters and take pictures that look interesting. 🙂 Below is some of my fun with Photo Booth this morning. Granted, I think I need better lighting. […]

Mint : It’s like Firefox for Stats

  • 15 Mar, 2006

No, Mint isn’t another new offering from Mozilla, but rather well designed stats package for your website. Not only does it look good, it’s also very easy to use and extendable! Mint costs $30 and you install it your webserver. It’s PHP based and requires a database but it’s really simple to setup and use. […]

My First Dashboard Widget

  • 14 Mar, 2006

I’ve created my first Dashboard Widget 🙂 Thanks to a nice tutorial from Josh Nimoy I was able to walk though the steps and see how easy it is to create a simple, yet pointless, Dashboard Widget. You never know, this could be the first steps towards something amazing! If you want, and I don’t […]

iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets

  • 13 Mar, 2006

I searched for a web based Microsoft Excel today and I found iRows. All the basics, none of the bloat or cost!! Today was a snow day and I was told not to come into work but rather work from home. Great idea except I treat my home computer differently than my work computer. For […]

Twins fans will fill the Metrodome in Minneapolis tonight to say goodbye to Twin’s great Kirby Puckett. You’ll be missed.

Target Disk Mode Rocks

  • 10 Mar, 2006

You gotta love target disk mode. It’s a wonderful feature from Apple that lets you boot a machine as a firewire hard drive on another. This then allows you to quickly copy off files and folders. This morning I hooked up my PowerBook to my new iMac via a firewire cable, held down the T […]
