    Texter - fast abbreviation substitution
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  1-29-2008    1
     If you find yourself answering many emails the same way, or need to paste in a complex bit of HTML over and over, this could be extremely helpful. {{Communicatrix}} also suggested that I look at TextExpander for the same function on Mac

    Parallels or VMWare for Win on Mac?
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  12-20-2007   
     I purchased parallels so that I can test our sites in IE here on my mac, and soon after VMWare began to get great hype. I'm still really happy with how quick it is to start a virtual install of XP here and dive into testing.

    Apple shuts down Think Secret?!
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  12-20-2007    1
     Wow - I'm a pretty big Apple fan, and I agree that some of the news that has been leaked has been a little overboard lately, but this seems crazy. ThinkSecret was a source where people salivated over even flimsy details promising new shiny gadgets to buy from Apple, and probably did more for them than any "I'm a mac" spot ever could. Now Apple themselves have sued them out of existence. Boneheads.

    Connect to a VPN in Mac OS X without losing your connection
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  10-23-2007    1
     Whenever I would connect to the clipmarks VPN from my Mac, it would attempt to send all my traffic over the VPN, effectively cutting me off from the rest of the web. This hint tells you how to stop sending all traffic to the VPN, and that did the trick for me - I can connect to our server and stay online. If you need to set up a direct route to one of the machines behind the VPN, read the rest of this hint at the source.

     I'll definitely have to try this out! Looks like the wiimote could be a great 3D mouse.

    Battery updater for Macbook Pro released
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  4-30-2007   
     I've been having a little bit of trouble with my Macbook's battery. It usually runs a long time after a charge, but the "battery health" percentage has been going down since the day I bought it. It's at 88% now, but hit a worrying 74% yesterday. Hopefully this update will help me get a little more juice out of my mac and reflect the battery's remaining time and health more accurately.

    Disk burning in Mac OSX sucks - Open Source to the Rescue
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  4-17-2007    3
     The included "burn folder" for Mac OS X is woefully inadequate. It doesn't event tell you how much space is available on the disc until you go to burn!

    Apple delays OS X 10.5 Leopard to October
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  4-12-2007   
     Interesting. I'm glad that they're being forthright about the delays and why they happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they were rushing a bit to counter the "Vista buzz" and when it came out said "oh, good, we can relax a bit."

    Where are Home and End on Mac?
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  1-15-2007   
     I've just switched to a Macbook Pro, and the lack of proper home and end keys was driving me batty. Turns out that hitting CMD+Right or CMD+Left to the trick, and there's lots more handy shortcuts.

    Apple announces iPhone / widescreen iPod
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  1-9-2007   
     The keynote is still going on, but it looks to be a widescreen iPod / touchscreen phone which runs OS X, has a revolutionary multifinger touchscreen input, and does tons of stuff besides.

    MacWorld Drinking game!

     The image is a little too big, but it was too funny not to clip. I'll be watching the keynote very closely, as I'm buying a new macbook, and I've been waiting to make sure there weren't any surprise announcements (like, say, a quad core macbook pro).

    Funny Zune vs Ipod spoof from Microsoft
    ericskiff
    by ericskiff  12-14-2006   
     I can't really agree with the video, since sharing music Zune to Zune is a temporary thing, even if you own all the copyrights, but it's an interesting "we can be snarky too" dig from Microsoft .
