So sometime last year Makena announced (again) that they would be supporting Mac OS X and Facebook. On the surface this sounded like signs of life from There.com. In reality, though, it just makes me wonder if they really plan on being around much longer.
I tried my best to find information about the Mac version […]
After nearly 20 hours of bullshit, problems that started and ceased without explanation, and countless headaches, mason jars of tea, and not a single farking cigarette no matter how stressed out I may have been getting, Barbarella has been brought back online.
There’s still quite a bit of work to do but some of the hardest […]
For years I’ve had a LinkSys 802.11b router. It’s worked well enough that I have never bothered to replace it. When I bought the router it was new technology and there were relatively few wireless routers around. I had the air all to myself. Since then wireless has become ubiquitous and using a wireless router […]
I won’t write a whole lot about this because some things are just better seen with your own two eyes.
So just shut up, sit back, and WATCH THIS.
I really want a Mac Pro, but first I need deck furniture. If I had deck furniture I would want to carry my laptop around with me more. If I were sitting out on the back deck more often I would want my laptop so I could write. If I could sit down just to […]
This Saturday I had a test which went reasonably well. If nothing else it helped me realize what I really need to work on. I went through the test to get my first blue tip. There were several things the lower belts had to go through and while I was doing it one of my […]
I missed class Tuesday, as previously reported. Since I do not have a time machine at the moment I was unable to retroactively participate in class. As a result, I decided to make up the class tomorrow. By going tonight (which is now done) and tomorrow, I will have my two classes for the week. […]
I went back to Windows temporarily to dig some files off of the PC since I had to shut down the web-server for several days. While in Windows I fired up Firefox and began doing some web-searches. It didn’t take me long to get annoyed with simple tasks.
The first thing I noticed was […]
I found a link to this video while doing my daily digging, and I just felt that I had to post it here as well as give a link to the site that explains it.
This video does a good job showing binary addition as performed by a wood and marble apparatus. The video is […]
As I look around my computer room I can see computers from as far back as 1994 (possibly even before that). My very first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer 2, aka the Tandy CoCo 2. I no longer have that computer. It was followed up by a C64 and a Tandy […]
So it seems my old LinkSys wireless router is a piece of crap. It isn’t that I didn’t already know this, it is just that here lately it has really been acting up. In the past I always had some issues out of it whenever I was using my Dell laptop wirelessly. […]
I had mentioned months ago how I was going to invest some time playing with VMWare Fusion and XP Pro on my Mac. After on an off again trials I have finally come to the conclusion that it is in effect just about pointless.
I cannot install my copy of XP Pro under Bootcamp […]
Atari ST fans (If any still exist) will probably remember this.As an Amiga user from the day I have to acknowledge that the Atari ST was a mean little machine, and even compared to the Amiga 500 it wasn’t too shabby. Occasionally I run into little gems like the one above that remind me that […]
Notice the comment! :)
It’s no secret. My computers are on most of the time. I pride myself on uptime and currently have over 20 days of uptime with my BSD box. My Mac has 4 days of uptime, and the PC…
…is off?
That always catches me off guard because I normally keep my systems off. […]
Now there are a lot of really great cross platform emulators. Snes9x of course Mame are two of the more popular ones available for most platforms, but Magic Engine and GENS do not seem to have complete and functional OS X ports (there was one project to port it over, but it doesn’t appear […]
Soon I’ll be using bootcamp to install Windows on my Macbook Pro. I’m probably going to stick with Windows XP though because I don’t feel like torturing my Mac with vista. I really only plan on using it to play games .
I don’t think I’m going to make the partition very […]
Apple has been giving new Mac owners upgrades to OS X 10.5 Leopard for only $11 after shipping, and for such a low price I couldn’t resist the urge to upgrade. I placed my order and today the package was sitting doorstep when I came home from work.
I had intended on doing a bit […]
