  Stupid Computer Trick — VNC Echo

  05.16.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  At work I’m messing around with setting up a new machine running Leopard… I was having trouble figuring out how best to access network shares and a helpful guy on the Apple Support Discussions Board pointed me to the Columns View in a Finder Window. When you click on the icon for a machine on […]

  Psystar — Still Hopeful

  04.20.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Earlier today I checked the Psystar website, and they must’ve been doing some maintenance on the server or changing something with the configuration; got nothing but errors. And the pit in my stomach came back.
  It was Sunday, so it wasn’t difficult to put it out of my mind for most of the day. When […]

  The Psystar Saga — Riding It Out

  All the hysteria on Gizmodo and elsewhere over the Psystar saga had me all weirded out yesterday. I was ready to call them up to cancel my order, then take it to the credit card company if they balked.
  But then I had a decent night’s sleep, and woke up to see this insightful comment on […]

  VNC on the Mac

  02.14.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  &otI’ve got need at work for running VNC on one of the machines so an app running on it can be shared with multiple users on the network. VNC is a great solution that’s been out there for a long time, but in general it kinda sucks because, 1. it’s slow, 2. the image resolution […]

  Wordpress Has Spoiled Me

  10.15.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I did some old-fashioned html work this weekend, and discovered anew how much easier things are using a tool like Wordpress instead of doing it by hand. I don’t do coding regularly enough to know the stuff by heart, but holy cow! what a lot of the futzing I had to do to get things […]

Welcome to davintosh. I write about anything that strikes my fancy; no guarantee that you'll find it interesting, or that you'll agree with me, or that you'll be entertained. Not that I don't care. I just don't read minds. It'd be great if you'd leave a comment to let me know you were here.
