Here are the result of installing OS X Leopard: My Laptop – Success MacBook Pro, hardware is a few months old and consequently the installed OS is equally old. I used the “upgrade” install (as opposed to the “archive and replace” install, as I didn’t realize there were two different places in the installer to … Continue reading Leopard Scorecard

Is it just me, or is there no “archive and install” when upgrading to OS X Leopard? It let me select extra packages (Fonts and X11 are important), but there was never an option (that I saw) to install a “fresh” copy, moving the old one out of the way. No matter, as everything went … Continue reading Leo Pared
A list of +/- with standard deviation
Earlier this week, I was in a constant cranky mood. This is mainly because of an ill-timed muscle knotting in my neck. I guess I slept funny on Sunday and tweaked those ropy muscles at the base of the skull. Today, I am feeling almost completely better. The real kick in the pants was this … Continue reading A list of +/- with standard deviation
Stuff
I just finished reading Spook Country and have to wonder if this story about a missing $9 billion is art imitating life or life imitating art. (via digg) Also: …which has been first scribbled upon and then pixelated so that you don’t steal my digits! It will be held on to until the new OS … Continue reading Stuff
iPhone / netnice
Similar to what they did with Aperture rebates a while back, they’ll be doing the same thing with the iPhone. $100 ain’t too shabby. Do any of you Unix-heads know if there is some network-equivalent of the “nice” command for limiting bandwidth under Linux and/or OS X? For instance, it might let me issue a … Continue reading iPhone / netnice
iPhones and iPods
Dear Internet: Stop whining about the iPhone price drop. Yes, it dropped by $200 today, only 67 days after its initial release. Yes, that is $3/day. Yes, that is a rather quick price drop for any piece of popular new technology (the crappy technology that nobody wants is an entirely different matter…) But it’s no … Continue reading iPhones and iPods
Apple Keyboard
After playing with the new Apple keyboard for 5-10 minutes at the Apple Store the other week (the sales folks were curious as to why I was writing what looked like code into a TextEdit window), I decided to get one. The key spacing isn’t a big deal at all–they just squared the beveled edges … Continue reading Apple Keyboard

iPhone Line
I went to the Bridgeport Wild Oats for lunch today and decided to swing by the Apple store. I have seen photos of the various other Apple stores and the lines for the iPhone, so I figured I would see how Portland compares. There were probably 50-60 people there, hanging out, chatting, and having a … Continue reading iPhone Line
iPhone Questions
I present a number of unanswered questions — the main reasons why I will not be getting an iPhone for at least a week or two (if not longer or ever): * Does it support dialup networking? Dialup networking via Bluetooth? One of the features I love about my Treo is that I can put … Continue reading iPhone Questions
