Knock on wood, but Safari 7.0.1 (in beta currently) seems to eliminate the crashes in the RTE. Knock on wood. P.S. A hardware problem this is not.

All this under the guise of "balance" between work and life. Yes, it's horrible. Didn't Microsoft run a […]

Ars Technica: Apple's iCloud Keychain: It works, but with frustrating limitations. I have something like 440 logins saved in 1Password. I have no plans to use anything but 1Password on my two Macs, currently. It's simple, straightforward, efficient, and relatively feature-packed (it also includes secure notes, software registration information, and other things iCloud Keychain does […]

Bit of a brain fart today. I've been annoyed since Mavericks shipped when "Space 3" would keep constantly arranging itself second in the list of (three) Spaces. Finally, today after looking at something related to Spaces did I see this second checkbox and uncheck it: I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to have […]

Twitter is branching out with custom timelines. It'll be interesting to see how this is used and/or how it's abused.

Wow. Their ReactionAnd what did Misha (or staff) from MacUpdate do on the other hand? Removed the "Featured" red highlight for all Koingo applications on MacUpdate. Deleted every 3+ star review on every Koingo app on MacUpdate, but left all the bad ones. Posted "MacUpdate does not recommend software from Koingo Software" tags on all […]

They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self control." - Inscription, 6000 year-old Egyptian tomb "When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and […]

I just got an email that Garmin was sending me a 620 watch (I asked for orange and white) to replace my 610. The 610 they sent in exchange for a review that I wrote long ago, but they made no mention of reviewing the 620. It's no secret that I haven't been running much […]

This issue (large, bitmapped looking paper clip attachment icons) is not fixed in the Mail 1.0 update for Mavericks. 🙁 On the bright side, this is a nice article on the changes in Mavericks Mail.

A friend/co-worker and I will be self publishing a book soon. Good quality, paperback, 200 pages or so.

Apple's done something it's almost never done before: quell the rising tide of people unhappy with the latest versions of iWork apps for OS X with this article: About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility. More of the backstory on the backlash can be found here. In rewriting these applications, some features from […]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone says they could care less.

Safari 7 on OS X Mavericks (10.9) crashes regularly ((Not quite 100% of the time, but north of 80%.)) when I edit posts (of my own or anyone else's) on sites like http://thesandtrap.com/f/ or other sites that use the Huddler "Rich Text Editor." An example crash log is here on PasteBin: http://pastebin.com/F6R0JxXp. It is not […]
