Just a quick note: I was perusing my stats (thanks to shaun inman’s shortstat) today, and I noticed that the high percentage of overall Safari users visiting were using Safari 1.2. Not really all that surprising… 1.2 had a very long life span. What surprised me, however, was that I couldn’t find any reference to…

Safari Discovery
I discovered something a bit odd today: I have two versions of Safari on my system, both of which work perfectly well. Seems that since I had my applications on my Mac organised differently than default (since I have so many little programs, I like to follow the example Apple set with the “Utilities” directory,…
Go Speed Racer, Go.
As I type this, a work crew is busy tearing up the nature strip (that’s what we called them in Australia, and I can’t for the life of me think of what it’s called in the States…) between the street and the sidewalk in front of my house. They’re ripping up my grass. They’re digging…
Delicious Library
No, I’m not talking about a book repository made entirely of lasagna (although…); Delicious Library is an awesome application for Mac OSX. But… Delicious Library? Why on earth would they name a program that? Well, the company is named Delicious Monster (still rather cryptic, although the website explains why), and technically, the program is called…
Amazon wants me to buy kitchenwares
So, the other day, I discovered I had to purchase another textbook for my “Computers and Society” class I’m taking at the U. I jumped on Amazon.com, because I: Hate buying books from the overpriced university bookstore Wanted to get the new version of the CSS Pocket Reference Thought that this time, maybe, they might…
I need $2000
Apple opened this years WWDC today in San Francisco. While there was no way I could afford a ticket to WWDC, like the rabid Apple fan that I am, I’ve been reading about all the announcements made today during Steve Jobs’ keynote. I won’t bore you with all the details (that’s the job of Mac…
OSX Tip 1
I’ve wanted to do this for a while now. Since the day I found out I could fix computer problems faster than most people I knew, I’ve been the “go to” guy for my family and many friends with computer questions and problems. As any person with this dubious title can attest, it becomes something…
Old PCs and Operating Systems
After having dealt with Windows™ in my role as a financial clerk this week (for my church), I decided to dust off my old PC and see what she could do. Actually, I’d been planning on attempting to convert the PC into a kind of test-bed for my development work… “Why not? It just sits…
Syndicate this…
Since the advent of my fabulous site, and more accurately, my installation of Word Press, I’ve become an addict. Not to nose candy or some form of ritualistic monkey tap-dance, but to syndicated news feeds, usually in the form of RSS. For those of you who haven’t stumbled across this time-saving technology, I’ll fill you…
iTunes 4.6 and fair use
Apple released iTunes 4.6 today under the guise of an update to enable “AirTunes” for their fancy new Airport Express (which, by the way, I’d be happy to accept as a gift from anyone who reads this). Also hidden in this update are “other minor updates.” Reading this in Software Update today concerned me, as…
