So, yesterday’s router troubles only grew this morning. 4 second uptime, tops - progressively worse than the 4 minute between resets I was experiencing last night. The Linksys wireless router was in its death throes - I should have seen it coming…
Throwing dollars at the problem seems to have helped, as I walked away from [...]
I’ve had my Plantronics 650 headset for about 2 weeks now. I’ve been pretty happy with it except for one minor niggle: in order to use it, I would need to make a trip to the Sound Preference under System Preferences to select the headset as my primary audio input and audio output.
No big [...]
I’m a big fan of Time Machine, Apple’s back-up software that comes bundled with Leopard. It’s already saved my bacon twice - not to mention hours of painstaking work - so I value it pretty highly. On a desktop system, Time Machine’s a no brainer. I have a couple of drives available, and back-ups occur [...]
I’m not there, but I’m pinging back and forth between a few sites - (credit to Macworld and Mac360). I’m leaving out lots of details - check these sites for all the up-to-the-minute info.
Here’s what’s announced so far:
1) Time Capsule - An Airport Extreme base-station that includes a hard drive. Two models: 500GB ($299) and [...]
I installed Windows Vista Ultimate (SP1) on my Mac Pro, for the purposes of using it in conjunction with some of the high-end 3D applications I tend to use from time to time, for the courses I teach. While I haven’t loaded those 3D apps as yet, I have had a chance to go [...]
Maintaining three Wordpress based blogs doesn’t leave me much time to post as much as I used to. While I remain very happy with Wordpress overall, the number of steps required to actually post content is time-consuming, clumsy, and, often times, too darn slow.
After “dealing with it” for a few months, I started to look [...]
Yesterday afternoon I took my Trek 4300 in to Oliver’s Cycle Sports for a tune-up and flat-tire fix. I ride 30 miles every week, and on my last excursion, my rear-tire got a flat (thorns were the culprit). Walking back those last few miles in the baking Tampa sun was pretty exhausting…
Considering that the store [...]
Warning: Spoilers follow. If you don’t want to know about the movie, skip this blog post.
1. Stiff acting: the entire lot of the main cast looked as if they were going through the motions, except for Shia LaBouf (whose 50’s greaser character had no development whatsoever). Karen Allen and Harrison Ford not only phoned in [...]
Character design is something that has always fascinated me. It’s one of the first things I pick up on when I look at another artist’s work.
Yesterday afternoon I received two books that should appeal to folks interested in learning more about the realm of character design.
The first book on the list is “The Art of [...]
It’s still in Development Preview, but don’t let the status fool you - AppFresh by Metaquark is a very useful application. What does it do, you ask?
Think of AppFresh as a unified Software Update for all the third party applications you’ve installed. When you first launch AppFresh, you’ll get a window (see above) that lists [...]
