It has been quieter than usual around here lately. The reason for that is due to my typing skills being drastically crippled for the past week. Last Thursday I was preparing for a flight from New Hampshire to Boise (that involves about six hours in the air) and decided it’d be a good idea to […]

update 2006.09.05: SOLD! I’m trading in my PowerBook for a bottom of the barrel white MacBook (I plan to add a 7200 RPM drive and 2GB of RAM sometime after purchase). If you need a PowerPC laptop, give mine a gander over @ eBay: 15″ PowerBook 1.67 Ghz 80GB 1.5GB SuperDrive Airport If you “buy it now” […]

Things will be quieter than usual here. My family (one wife, one 2.5 year old and one 8 month old) and I are moving from NH to Boise, Idaho. A truck picks up our stuff tomorrow and then we start driving out in our mini-van. We plan to arrive in Idaho on Tuesday, […]

I previously mentioned that I store all my receipts on my iDisk with a naming style of: yyyy_mm_dd_NAME_OF_FILE.pdf To get the PDF on to the iDisk I had to say, Print, then “Save as PDF…” and I would manually give it the name with the date prefixed and fumble my way over to iDisk/Documents. This morning […]

I’m addicted to Gus‘ Menu Accelerator. I no longer fumble through menu’s looking for what I want. I just start typing. It’s beautiful. The only problem was that it wasn’t a Universal Binary. I’m not sure if Input Managers work through rosetta or not, but even if they did, I […]

Near the end of the meal, our seven month old daughter was getting cranky and needed to be walked. Knowing Apple recently blessed this mall with it’s presence I […]

About a month ago, Luis took a week off from his day job to work on WebnoteHappy full time. During that week he started a series of blog posts on his blog, MacHappy, under the category, The Life (see df). Luis and I have become good friends and are in similar mac dev […]

Last we heard, my fourth iPod was on its way. Well, that one has been replaced and now number 5 is here. What happened to number 4? Things were looking good. I received it on a Saturday morning and it still had some charge in it. I plugged it in, […]

My curiosity often costs me a lot of time. My most recent expense started when I subscribed to the coding monkeys blog and read their post about how SubEthaEdit (what a great icon) fully supports being an external editor for Xcode. I don’t plan to collaborate, but I had to try it. […]

I both mirror my drive with SuperDuper! and I backup some miscellaneous stuff using Apple’s Backup. One of the miscellaneous things I backup with Backup is my address book. I also sync my address book with .mac such that my PowerBook, my iMac and my mini for work all have the things I […]
