I was all ready to crank out a heavy work post when this item in my Reader caught my eye.
Should You Pay Twice as Much for a Mac?
I love this type of title because it captures attention by being potentially controversial, and of course, it references Apple. Good tech news writing always drives traffic through [...]
I read xkcd and actually get about 75% of the jokes, I think. Anyway, this one popped up in Reader this morning, and it made me laugh, especially in light of our recent discussions about O/S, a.k.a. the “which O/S would win in a fight” thread.
Enjoy, and read xkcd if you don’t already, and don’t [...]
Instead of adding a comment to Jake’s post on his Ubuntu experience to-date, I thought I’d just blog my perspective.
Here’s my backstory with Apple, MSFT, Linux, and others:
Mid to late 80s: Timex Sinclair 1000… loved writing programs on cassette tapes! How many of you Web 2.0 kiddies can say that?
Early to mid 90s: had an [...]
Comments have been awfully quiet lately. I’m guilty of talking too much about work-related stuff and not enough about iPhones and Twitter.
My bad. Let’s remedy that.
Rich asked me recently how my move to Ubuntu was going. It’s been almost a month, and he says he has a vested interest in keeping me happy with it. [...]
In case you haven’t had enough of my epic dumping of Windows for Ubuntu odyssey, here’s another installment. This is likely to be the last one, but no promises.
This is my fist blog post from Ubuntu, not a huge deal, but still.
I’m probably 75-80% of the way done, with a few holes yet to fill, [...]
I decided earlier in the week that the long Fourth of July would be a great time to reimage my work laptop from XP to Ubuntu.
A couple reasons for this: 1) I’m supposed to be off today, so I can muck around with my laptop without worrying about work stuff and 2) it’s a bit [...]
Over the weekend, I finally made the decision to reimage my laptop, which currently runs XP, to Ubuntu 8.04, fondly known as Hardy Heron.
Well, I dragged my feet, and the weekend ended; XP must not have got the memo because it’s being more temperamental than normal. It’s complaining about disk space on C; it’s killing [...]
It’s ironic to me that D-Day for good old Windows XP is coming up on Monday, since for several months, I’ve been trying to motivate myself to dump it in favor of Ubuntu as the O/S on my work laptop.
Tracking Dan’s recent jump into the Mac pond chronicled over Twitter and in his blog has [...]
As I teased yesterday, I’ve been mucking around with virtual machines to extend my ability to test Mix. Due to the varied nature of our users’ environments, I need to find ways to install more browsers, more versions on more operating systems.
Everyone knows reproducing an issue is really the best way to begin fixing it. [...]
