Over the past few days this site has had a ridiculous number of hits outside its ordinary audience. This seems to be due to two particular referrals at the same time, both referencing my post on Leopard showing networked PC’s with blue screens of death:
Unfortunately, the StumbleUpon community seems to be somewhere around the Digg [...]
Also tagged blue screen of death, bsod, stumbleupon, vista, windowsI’ve had several articles and references to my computer setup and preferred applications written before. I figure the list is due for an update with the latest hotness in technology.

Windows: Nero Burning ROM 7

Also tagged application, utility, windowsApple’s huge WWDC was today, and the Steve Jobs speech, while devoid of any new hardware, was fairly interesting in that it heralded the announcements of two huge features for OS X 10.5.
A new Desktop was nice to see, considering Apple’s effectively had the same Desktop UI since OS X 10.0. The improvements to the [...]
I’ve decided to take a look at my Webalizer statistics for the months of April and May to figure out what people are searching for. It also helps me tailor the content on this ugly green and beige page to what people might be interested in.
If you’ve got a question about something I’ve written, or [...]
Setting up a Windows networked printer to function correctly in OS X is a process that I’d rather not deal with again. Here’s the way I eventually managed to accomplish it, with some information from Scott Hurring’s website.
The printer model in particular is the Samsung ML-2010, which can be had for about $70 after mail-in [...]
I am either about to become one of the hardcore neckbeard-wielding Linux supporters, or do something drastic to Microsoft’s programmers. Why is it that an operating system like Vista, put together after five years of effort, is actually WORSE than its predecessor?
Just this week I’ve experienced the following issues with my legitimate, genuine MSDNAA [...]
The Good:
When you go to rename a file with the Hide filename extensions for known files option enabled, the extension is not selected by default. This makes renaming a folder to the same name as a file much easier.
The Screen Clipping tool replaces HyperSnap for all my screen capturing needs.
Search support is comparable to OS [...]
Thanks to Dave for this pointer:
The default VNC application on OS X really bites, so if you want to access your Mac remotely, get a copy of Vine Server.
For viewing the result on a PC, install UltraVNC and use the following connection settings for best results. (This assumes you’re on a local area network [...]
My new MacBook arrived yesterday, so I’ve been playing around with it since last night. It’s unbelievably snappy, likely due to the Core 2 Duo chip inside it. I also bumped the configuration up to 2GB of RAM when I ordered it, which is a good idea for pretty much any modern system.

Looking at the title I may have unfortunately chosen for this site, it reads similar to a “directive not found” inclusion common to SSI and ASP pages. “Bus error” is one of the POSIX generic error messages, and I’ve seen it twice. From my perspective as a developer, it’s possibly one of the worst error [...]
