Server 2.12 released
Plaxo just released Server 2.12. Now that we have a bunch of partners using our website, we had to slide an extra step in the release train that allows the partners to test against the release candidate for a few weeks before release. What this means is I’ve forgotten what is in this release. For […]
The Origami hype-machine
Pity Microsoft sometimes. What possess them to send out hype announcements just before a Steve Job’s keynote/event? I know Apple has a tiny marketshare, but in the geek world, their mind share is huge. This is why Apple’s announcements top Google News Sci/Tech section even after a mediocre product announcement. More is the pity because […]
Aperture 1.1
(Thanks to the people of this Flickr thread for informing me of this.) It looks like Apple caved into all hearsay by photographers and is releasing a new version of Aperture catered to them. The major thing to note, IMO, is that Aperture 1.1 will be a universal binary and available as a free update, […]
Mac Mini switches to Intel
It wasn’t more than a year ago when I wrote in my OSCON bio: Terry Chay is the only Mac user at Plaxo, where he develops the web-based version of their product (they tolerate him because he stinks at CounterStrike). A few weeks ago, IT purchased a couple of Mac Minis to ramp up Mac […]
Back to Palm…again
Michael at work just got a Treo 650 and because I have a Palm T|X (review roundup), he was wondering how to get up using the Palm features. In my opinion the two are not the same product, there are a lot of cool things that I could do with a PalmOS that are too […]
Rip Different
I saw on BoingBoing that Macrovision is threatening VersionTracker for listing MacTheRipper. I had forgotten what a wonderfully useful program MacTheRipper has always been mostly because I’ve taken it for granted. Basically what it does is strip the CSS, Macrovision, region encoding and menu blocks from a DVD to allow you to create a usable […]
Clothing security tags
A shirt I got from SportMart had one of these left on it: Everyone knows this as an EAS or clothing security tag, inktag, or whatever. Luckily, mine didn’t have any ink.
Lunch 2.0 l(a)unches
In 1999, I used to eat lunches in Novell’s offices (now eBay’s headquarters). In 2000, Dave visited me and I showed him all the crappiest food in the valley. In 2001, Dave came to the Valley and we decided we needed to visit corporate cafeteries, because the only thing you got free in the valley, […]
Opera 9 preview 2
Preview 2 of Opera 9 is out. The big thing is the integrated BitTorrent client. I’m not planning on using Opera but because Microsoft Internet Explorer for the Mac is dead, it might be fun to have it lying around to learn some AJAX quirks it might have. Besides, Opera’s rendering engine might be used […]
