OSX Dictionary Screen Saver
The OSX Dictionary screen saver is totally awesome. It gives you a handy word of the day as the screen saver. Why didn’t I see this in any of the reviews of Leopard out there?
Vista praise
Since I am trying to commit to writing to this blog more, I am trying to find it’s voice and figure out what direction I am going to go with writing. After that last post I realized it could easily go towards a Microsoft/Vista hate blog since I find myself complaining about vista to someone almost daily. To balance it out early on, here I will post the one thing I have been loving about Windows Vista.
Microsoft Tech Support Linguistics
The copy of Windows Vista Business running on my laptop decided tonight that it was no longer activated and I had to re-activate it. I don’t think I need to go into how frustrating that a copy of software that you legally own decides that you no longer own it. I bet the cracked copies on the internet never have this problem.
Postfix + Javamail = disagreement
I had a server die on me last week and I needed to reinstall it as quickly as possible. It was running Fedora Core 4. I only had install media for Fedora core 6. I knew it would be a bit of a pain to update all of the config files for everything running on the server, but I figured now is as good a time as any. I would have updated to 7 or 8, but I didn’t have time to download those on CDs (I have 8 on dvd but the server doesn’t have a dvd drive).
OSX 10.5 Released
Apple finally released OSX 10.5. (leopard I guess, but I don’t call OSX by its cat name ever because for some reason I can not remember what cat is what, I even bought the wrong one accidentally once, doh!) I went against my usual wait and see policy and installed it on the day it came out.
