Yes, I'm selling it. Why? My Mac Pro has shipped - that's why. As soon as I pull the information off the hard drive(s) in my G5, I won't have much use for it. I can't even think of a way to use it here around the house. Dual 2 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5) 2 […]

Some of these are simply laughable. I mean, a tough-screen phone? That would be horrid! Make sure you view beyond the first page of mockups.

So, a long-lost Microsoft employee emailed me and will be supplying a copy of Windows XP Pro for $35. Yippee. And Brad, who took time out from working on Iris, informed me that the four-week holdup on my Mac Pro is due to the Airport Express card, of all things. Apparently in the Mac Pro, […]

With a Mac Pro on its way (some day), I suppose I must start looking for an inexpensive copy of Windows XP (preferably not "Home"). I plan to keep the two 500 GB drives as my main drives - one for backup - and use one of the 250 GB drives in my current G5 […]

The estimated ship date is October 6, 2006 and the estimated delivery date is October 16, 2006. I wonder if it'll actually take that long. I guess I can put off ordering my 4 GB RAM kit from RAMJet for awhile. MAC PRO,CTO   3.00 GHz Quad Xeon   1GB 667 DDR2 FB DIMM ECC-2x512   ATI Radeon […]

Version 8.5 is now available. $30 (for those upgrading from 8.0) gets you code folding, a better preferences window, a renamed Glossary, and, uhhhhh… we'll see. I wonder if code folding can fold around matching <div> tags… something in me doubts it. I'm watching football or I'd be playing with BBEdit right about now. And […]

I can get video off of my DirecTV-equipped TiVo ("DirecTiVo"), but it's a painful process that includes hooking my DV camera (a little Sony) up and recording. I think take the DV Cam upstairs to my G5, where I import the video. Obviously, for an hour-long program, this process takes over two hours. I'm not […]

I've been playing with Musicast for the past few months, and though the 1.0 lacks a few features, it really provides a nifty interface to let you share your music with others. Is the RIAA watching? I don't know. But at the same time, I've password-protected my Musicast site from time to time so that […]

I'm considering a Mac Pro purchase to replace my Dual 2 GHz G5 (2x250 GB, 2.5, BT, AP, SD). I have an existing 23" Aluminum display that I'll likely carry over. With $899 for 4 GB of RAM from RAMJet, the price comes to about $4500 after tax for this configuration: Two 3GHz Dual-Core Intel […]

Does anyone happen to have a soon-to-be-expired Apple (hardware) developer discount?

I guess Apple isn't planning on too many system updates in the next, oh, eight months. We're already at 10.4.7 - which means they've got room for two major updates (10.4.8 and 10.4.9). After that, we'd have to start getting 104 MB "security updates." 🙂

I was adjusting the icon view of my desktop today when I noticed some behavior that doesn't seem quite right. I typically keep things arranged by name (the last checkbox). The first checkbox is "Snap to grid." Checking the "Snap" checkbox dims (and de-selects) the "Keep arranged by" checkbox. Shouldn't these two items radio buttons […]

I wish to convey in no uncertain terms my frustration and puzzlement regarding Mac OS X's default keyboard list selection behavior. You're damn right it's screwy.

It's been, what, six years and we still don't have a version of Gravité for Mac OS X? And yeah, I just wrote about it last October, but for some reason it just popped into my head again.

BurnAgain lets you burn multiple CD-R sessions on one volume, unlike the Finder. At $25, I'll hold off on purchasing it until I need it… I don't find myself burning many CDs that need multiple sessions anymore.
