Tonight I was slumming - taking a spin in Virtual PC. I came across one of those M$ ads telling me that my life was not complete until I installed Internet Explorer 6. I was bored, so I thought "Why not?" Okay, the installation took longer than any browser installation in OS X ever did, but...

Putting 10.2 on my G3 iMac gave it a very nice speed boost, even without the benefits of Quartz Extreme. :D [rhetorical question]But hey, it's always nice to have even more speed, right?[/rhetorical question] Well, Jag's been out for a few weeks now, and people have been using themes with it...

I mean the one for Jaguar cars. Anybody see this one yet? The music for the commercial is "London Calling" by the Clash. Yes, the Clash! That left-wing, anti-capitalist band that did numbers like "The Guns of Brixton" and "Julie's Been Working For the Drug Squad." On the same album with...

The folks at Connectix have fixed the speed problem that was introduced with 5.0.3. VPC is just about usable again. ;) This evening I had a chance to compare it running Win98SE and WinXP. To my surprise, XP ran better, both smoother and faster. It sure does gobble up memory, though. On a...

I checked out the Mozilla themes at mozdev.org today, and fell in love with a new one (new to me, anyway) called Sky Pilot. Stunning! If you want to see it in action, look here. :D

A pr0n "pioneer" has left the stage: http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/23/obit.lovelace.ap/index.html Sadly, Linda was forced into the porn biz, and never made any decent $$ from her career. :(

Here I am stuck at work again, staring at this #$%^&* Dell running WinNT. So I'm surfing the Mac bulletin boards, looking for interesting, useful and/or fun info. I came across something about Mozilla that would interest one of my friends. So I went to email him a link to the webpage...

My Canon BJC2100 has been working fine ever since I installed 10.1. Now suddenly I can't print any more. Print Center launches and says it's opening the printer connection, but never finishes. I get the following message in the Console: Oct 15 21:03:23 localhost lookupd[189]: DNSAgent...

Yesterday, my Mail.app suddenly stopped working. One bounce in the dock, and then nothing. No error message, nothing showing up in the Console. Trying to access my mac.com email, I set up a new account for it in Entourage. Presto! Entourage now also quits immediately after launching! I...

After the "nonstandard" RAM fiasco with the last FW update, I'm a bit hesitant. Has anyone installed this yet? If so, any negative side effects?
