I've got a 12" PowerBook. I've also got a full-powered desktop with a 23" Cinema HD. Sometimes I just wish I could use the PowerBook to "see" the tower. I've tried VNC and it didn't work very well. Apple Remote Desktop is overkill. I just want to view my tower's display, so i can see […]

Some minor changes to the site today: Now using those little rectangular images (scroll down and look on the left) for RSS feeds, CC License, link to MovableType.org, and Blogshares. Updated my Linky Dinks section to reflect the current organization of my NNW subscription list. "Pals," for those who are wondering why you're in it […]

Nobody has the answer, yet everyone has the answer. Ask anyone. They'll answer you. The the more you know, the more you realize you don't know anything. The people who know more are thus less likely to give you an answer, aren't they? But it's more likely to be the right answer if they give […]

In the April, 2003 issue of Macworld, Matt Deatherage uses his brand new "The Big Picture" column to talk about Apple's open format movement. Deatherage talks about Keynote's XML format, the sharing that occurs between iPhoto/iTunes/iDVD/iMovie, and so on. Deatherage begins with: Any Keynote-compatible programs that spring up will only enhance the value of Keynote […]

I was just now entering some new DVDs and I noticed that "BT" did the music on The Fast and the Furious. BT, or Brian Transeau, has of course been in the last few Apple PowerBook ads. Interesting. Probably not necessarily my kind of music, but maybe I'll check it out later.

This site, and all of my others, will be down for about 30 minutes tomorrow morning. After that, they should reappear at the new IP: 64.226.43.134. I'm not sure how long the propagation will take, but feel free to edit your hosts file after 10am EST to get to the new server. Do I expect […]

Who isn't linking to this story today? It's a tale of how one guy's blog saved him from a very, very, very, very bad relationship. Reminds me a bit of my "friend" Danielle, the girl who never was. The world is a weird, weird place, my friend.

Demo is short for demonstration but never demolition, even though sometimes when giving a demo you'd rather be giving a demo. That makes no sense, but iWipe is currently in beta testing, and FTPeel will soon be a "demo" app of some kind, a public beta, and hopefully that won't turn into a demolition, though […]

It seems TiVo Desktop is out. iTunes, iPhoto, etc. on your Series 2 TiVo. Because I have a Series 1, and because it's been modded (added an extra 80 GB drive), and because it's a "DirecTiVo" (TiVo + DirecTV receiver), I won't be partaking of the joy here. Oh well. 🙁

Says Mac-Mike: What is taking… so long in updating Safari? It's been almost two months now since the last release. And while they're at it, Address Book, iCal and Keynote could also use some work. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this Mike fellow has never written software or […]

Matt is back from vacation and announces that he's engaged. Couldn't happen to a, uhh, more irate guy. In other news, I finally bought a coffee table. Not quite as romantic, eh? Oh well. Congratulations Matt. Congratulations Fiona.

On Saddam Hussein: Our sources tell us he has attempted to purchase 7 million hydrogen-powered doctors and the western wall of the Pentagon. They seem to do this to every speech these days, but it's still kind of funny. Grab the one I'm "quoting" above here: http://ebaumsworld.com/presaddress2.shtml.

Apple today announced the "Pro" series of software: Final Cut Pro 4, DVD Studio Pro 2, Shake 3, and Logic Platinum 6. I've already placed my order for FCP 4 upgrade (from FCP 3 Student). The sales person assured me that this was possible. If this turns out not to be true, well, I'll just […]

A few friends of mine have gotten blogs lately, and I wanted to take this time to point them out. They're all running MovableType because, go figure, I'll be their support line and I'm most familiar with it. I also think it's the best blogging software out there. Dave Schubert has a blog at his […]
