Mac User Installs XP

  • 28 Aug, 2006

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. 🙂 It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the […]

Jeeves Back at Ask!

  • 24 Aug, 2006

I’ve stumbled across exclusive pictures of Jeeves the butler back at Ask! Is his retirement over? // Image lost. Sorry. Zooomr ate it. // I guess the man has been interviewing around as I also spotted him at Yahoo! // Image lost. Sorry. Zooomr ate it. // Checking out Google, I found that they interviewed […]

What is my dream application?

  • 21 Aug, 2006

My Dream App contest has been announced!  It’s loosely based on the American Idol concept where contestants enter and then the public votes for one application until it becomes a reality! The good news is, you don’t have to have talent!  Just come up with a great idea for a Mac application, enter it, and […]

Now Using OpenDNS

  • 18 Aug, 2006

I’m not sure why, but I bought into the hype. OpenDNS is a free service that claims to make the internet better. It’s safer as it warns against phishing attacks, supposedly speeds up my connection and is smarter about a few domain typos. It’s quick and easy to setup as long as you have access […]

Parallels + Ubuntu = Kernel Panic

  • 15 Aug, 2006

I don’t know how people do it, but I’ve tried to install Ubuntu (Linux) over a dozen times in Paralles and it doesn’t work. The last time, my iMac ended up with a kernel panic. I have downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 (99% sure it is the right version), I upgraded my memory so now I have […]

Goodbye VoodooPad Lite, Hello Journler

  • 9 Aug, 2006

It wasn’t long ago when I was researching ‘junk drawer’ type applications. I wanted something to keep track of all my random information. Blog posts, images, URLs, notes and whatever else. My research ended with VoodooPad Lite; until now. Browsing MacUpdate, I came across Journler and I’ve never seen such a great application, especially for […]

WWDC Aftermath, Little Shock & Awe

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well WWDC Apple announcements are over and what are we left with? Some cool stuff, but nothing earth shattering in my mind. New Mac Pro’s do sound sweet, but I’m not in need of a Pro machine. My iMac works wonders! New Xserves too, again, not my area of expertise. The Leopard features were not […]

AttachmentReminder – Never Forget Attachments

  • 6 Aug, 2006

AttachmentReminder is quite possibly one of the most useful extensions for Thunderbird. What it does is allows you to add keywords that relate to attachments and, on send, if it finds one of those keywords, but no attachment, it’ll warn you. I simply have attach in AttachmentReminder’s keyword list and anytime any word contains attach, […]
