I did my first TimeMachine restore today. I tried out Firefox 3 Beta 1 - and decided that I wasn’t quite ready for it. So I restored my Firefox Profile from this morning before I downloaded and started running FF3. Click the TimeMachine icon, pick the date/time, navigate to the folder, click [...]
VMWare developer Ben Gertzfield did a really awesome thing a few days ago, he commented on my blog. What’s so cool about this is that Ben is a VMWare Fusion developer - and I had a seemingly throw-away line in that post that “VMWare fusion is not as user friendly as Parallels” - and [...]

So… after waiting patiently for a long time - I finally upgraded to a new Macintosh just recently. I’m happy with it, but in a way it’s a bit anti-climatic. It should be noted that Ubuntu 7.1 looks awfully good running under VMWare.
After weeks and weeks and weeks of back-and-forth with [...]
So, I have to admit it. I’m an Apple Fanboy.
I have been for just under 5 years (again). I say “again” because some history is order. I personally had one of the first PowerPC’s available - a 6100/60 AV - that I bought while attending NCSU after co-op’ing [...]
