Digg. I’ve been reading Digg for a couple of weeks now and the new-ness has started to wear off. It has a decent amount of links to interesting things that I wouldn’t otherwise see on my daily Fark visits. I avoid sites like Slashdot because of the inane chatter there, but I’ve come to realize […]

If you own or will soon own a MacBook Pro, stay far, far away from Corsair ValueSelct RAM. Every day or so my MBP will spontaneously reboot. It doesn’t seem to be related to heat or load, I’ve had it reboot on me while it’s sitting on my lap generating a nice 122 degrees F, […]

I’m getting really annoyed by the fact that I haven’t done anything remotely interesting lately. My routine is well, very routine and it feels like the weekends are just waiting for the weekdays to arrive again. I need to start planning my Burning Man and Rainier trips. I haven’t put much thought yet into how […]

I rented “The Aristocrats” today and watched it. That is the raunchiest material I’ve heard in a while, I loved it. My jaw is still sore from laughing so hard all afternoon. By far my favorites were Bob Saget and Billy The Mime. Most of the others seemed like they were just arbitrarily throwing together […]

The bike shop had a sale today and I couldn’t resist buying a set of Look Keo Sprint pedals at a deep discount. I was using Shimano SPD pedals on my road bike, and they were frustrating if not dangerous things. 3/4s of the time when I tried to step into them in a hurry, […]

Stupid fucking PC hardware and Windows. This is a clear reminder of why I’m so happy with my Macs. So here I am trying to install a Linksys 802.1G and a gigabit ethernet adapter into my Win2k PC. Pop in the CD, let it do its thing, turn it off, shove in the adapter and […]

At work I left my IBP running memtestosx. I learned that at a certain point, it would spontaneously reboot with the 1 GB stick in. I went up to Fry’s and exchanged it for another. Sat out in the parking lot, put in the new memory and ran memtestosx right then and there. It completed […]

I have some sort of cancer infecting my Apples that’s making me nervous. I think the battle of PowerPC vs Intel is happening on my kitchen counter. I reinstalled everything on my IBP. Now I’m having some sort of occasional spontaneous reboot problem that happens regardless of what I’m doing. On a whim, I stuck […]

Well, that was quick. I’ve already lost all the data on my IntelBook Pro. I spent a good chunk of last night and this morning tracking down my kernel panics and reading through Apple kernel development docs to figure it out. So far I had decided they had to be related to DivX and Xvid, […]

I downloaded a nightly build of Firefox (Deerpark) and VLC compiled for Intel. Deerpark is a huge improvement, it has a more responsive interface and snappy when it comes to rendering pages. VLC, both the PowerPC and nightly Intel build, on the other hand has crashed OS X so many times tonight. It seems to […]
