The switch went well today. I got a lot done and by the end of the day, I was using Apple+Left instead of Home to get to the beginning of a line and having a wonderful time. I see now I do need to go get BBEdit 7. BBEdit Lite is good, but it’s not […]

For those of you using OS X, and who upgraded to Jaguar, boy do I have good news for you!! Fink has been released!! It now supports 10.2! You can use all your favorite Unix programs like ncftp, emacs, etc from the comfort of OS X.

I’m bored waiting to get sleepy enough to crawl into my empty bed in a house that’s too quiet. I went to blo.gs and checking out all the recently updated sites, and stumbled across Daring Fireball. Interesting Mac-related stuff. The guy’s on a crusade against the Mac OS X Finder, and he makes some excellent […]

I feel the need for a redesign. Yes, I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. I put Movable Type back on the Powerbook, and started last night while watching Big Brother. I’m not starting with the main site this time, but with the Geekery, and a new section that will move all […]

I love OS X. I just installed Jaguar, and I was desperately hoping they would provide a utility to switch the mouse buttons. You see, I’m left-handed. I use the mouse with my left hand. In Windows (which I’m trying to wean myself off of) and Linux, I can easily flip the mouse buttons so […]

I like OS X. Why? I like my bad news anti-aliased.

Do you have OS X? Do you still love Unix? Oh, brother, then do I have something for you! Go check out Fink. It’s a easy way to get Unix packages installed and running in OS X. Sweet, sweet ingenuity.

I wish this was a joke. Apparently, it’s not. To save you the trouble of actually reading the article, “Doctor” Paley asserts that Macintosh OS X is of the devil because the codename for the software was Darwin, which is based on FreeBSD. He also asserts that Open Source is the same as Communism. What […]

I’m here at work on a Saturday afternoon. No, I’m not working. I’m transferring video from my camera to my new Mac so I can eventually burn everything to DVD. Won’t that be fun?

I tried it before, when it was new. It wasn’t ready, and neither was my poor little Powerbook. I couldn’t logon to my ISP, watch DVD’s or do much of anything. Then, I got my new machine, and the update and now, I am a OS X convert. I hate to admit it. I got […]
