Mount a remote disk Sleep remote machine Control Click on icon Wait a minute while Finder spins looking for disk. Sigh. Can’t they figure this out sooner? 🙂
Growing up
Carolyn popped into town this weekend on last minutes notice. I wasn’t sure how I would handle that, but it went swimmingly well. We went to the rose garden, I took her to Reo’s, we watched Network (amazing) and then were up until 3:30 figuring out where we went wrong and why we go wrong.… Continue reading Growing up
Siping your tires
I had never heard of siping your tires until I was forced into a new set last week when one decided to go bye bye. I read the pamphlet, it made sense, and the tires are quiet and they worked well in the rain on 101. Others can explain it better, but if you drive… Continue reading Siping your tires
Faxing with a Brother M740
I tried faxing over my Vonage line today via the Motorola VT1005 gateway with my Brother M740 fax machine. Nada. Just a click and dead. So I called Vonage and the dude was awesome. Raised my voice quality back to highest (now need to check my router again), changed my SIP registration expired down to… Continue reading Faxing with a Brother M740

Safari Smart Folders
Now that Tiger is bringing BeOS like search to the entire OS, it would be cool if this worked for Safari bookmarks. I can never find them and I have 1000s and well folders suck (as Steve said so himself) But the problem with bookmarks is that there is little meta data in them, just… Continue reading Safari Smart Folders

Maybe I can buy from Amazon again
I’ve bought one thing from Amazon in 4 years – Not bad for my boycott – And I knowingly paid more for things locally, too. Ever since they went to bed with Toys R Us, I have been boycotting them. Now that there might be a divorce in the works, maybe I can once again… Continue reading Maybe I can buy from Amazon again

According to Techworld Mac OS X has had similar vulnerabilities in number to Windows and thus is no more secure. Whatever.

So I wake up and find this today from The Laporte Report The Despartment of Homeland Security… Continue reading Numbers lie
Quote of the day
I think these new meds do have an effect on me. From IRC, on installing Linux onto a Gateway AIO: Course it could just install and work. But still, its a Gateway. Ick. I used to pass their store here when I’d get a coffee shake, often thinking if I hung around for an hour… Continue reading Quote of the day

I used my Hero to keep healing my units, I sent out ghouls… Continue reading Finally finished WC III Undead campaign
TiVo calls via Vonage
For a year now, I’ve used my Series 1 DirecTiVo with my Vonage broadband phone connection to phone DirecTV for updates and to let them know that I had not purchased any movies. When I got home from my trip to L.A., the TiVo was telling it could not dial into DirecTV. So after some… Continue reading TiVo calls via Vonage
