This happens a lot: I’ll be programming along, in the zone, so much that even the low-power alert doesn’t dissuade me from my task: That’s bad. Because inevitably, I’ll be just in the middle of a thought when the computer shuts off, ten minutes later. I don’t actually lose anything, of course, because MacBooks are […]
These days I set my laptop directly below my 20” display, which is set up on some books. I really like the setup, as I don’t have to move my head around to interact with the second display; I can just glance down or straight ahead. I can’t find any nice desktop pictures, though … […]
My friend Sam made something helpful a couple of years ago. I still use it from time to time to test regular expression matching. Now Reggy is on Bodega, your new corner store for Mac apps. Check ‘em both out.
Spent most of today replacing the Power/Sound board in an old PowerBook for my brother Tim. As it happens, that’s the most involved sort of repair one can make on an Aluminum 1.5 Ghz, since you have to remove almost every other piece from the case before you can get to it. Tim’s previous Mac, […]

Rands In Repose posts a list of peoples’ personal quirks that he gathered via Twitter. I share a bunch of them, but I’ve got a whole pile of unique ones, too: I always make sure the paper coffee cup’s seam (and sleeve fold if there is one) is directly below the sipping hole so I […]
Safari 3.1 is finally out, and it’s fast. There’s a new Develop menu, and the Web Inspector has received some welcome polish. But there is one expected feature that is missing in action, described in the post “Web Inspector Update” on the WebKit blog: Inline CSS EditingThis is the biggest new feature of the Inspector. […]
Not sure what happened here, but my Dock is still like this: Closed: Open:
These are just a bunch of small things that either I’ve noticed or have been pointed out to me about Leopard: iChat supports IRC-style status updates. You can type “/me is installing Leopard” into an IM window, and it will display it in a style similar to iTunes track notification messages, or away message changes, […]
We spent last week in Maryland, visiting with my family. I planned to work some of time we were there, and when I pulled my Mighty Mouse out to use it, I discovered that it had been damaged in transit. Or at least it appeared to be; the side-squeeze buttons must have been messed up […]
