From MacUpdate, a pointer to a free, simple, “just works” virtual screen manager for OSX. I’m getting used to some of the hotkey combinations, but so far, so good.

snowball, SWMBO’s iMac, has been making a rather disconcerting noise after it’s been up 2 or 3 hours. I don’t think it is disk-related, but on the chance it is, I spent yesterday creating bootable clones of snowball, and the voyager laptop, on an external 250 GB firewire drive. There was enough left of [...]
The World’s First iPod Video Film Festival is underway at The Flux. You register for an account, if you wish to vote. Or you can do what I did, and just watch a few of the entries. Three categories are included in the festival:
Indie Film.
Student Films.
Music Videos.
I watched 2 or 3 videos from [...]
Latest Apple Security Update installed on the laptop; the iMac is downloading same now. Security demands eternal vigilance.

Quicken Sucks.

As I mentioned here, Quicken has released a new “stability” update for Quicken 2006 for Mac. I installed it the other night; tonight, I had the distinct displeasure of trying it for the first time.
I had my payment recorded in Quicken Bill Pay, and hit send. I then got prompted for my PIN, [...]

There is a Mac Quicken 2006 R4 update available; I just installed it, and with all the “stability” fixes purported to be in there, perhaps it will crash less. Maybe it’ll even suck less. Hope springs eternal. I’ll still fly my “Quicken Sucks” banner until I know for sure.

The latest Apple OSX 10.4 update has the necessary changes for 2007 Daylight Savings Time. I’m now prepared in that regard. Do I need batteries? Bottled water? MRES? There’s still time, isn’t there?
