The AppleCare Chain Letter Scam
Sunday, July 31st, 2005For those of you not familiar with the Apple world, I am talking about the scam that Apple makes it pass as “Apple Care.†Here is how it works: you buy an Apple device and get a one year warranty. Then they allow you to purchase additional coverage (cost varies depending on device, I paid [...]
Migraine is teh suck
Sunday, July 31st, 2005It never fails: the day after I reinstall OS X for whatever reason I end up getting a god damn migraine. This one of course could have not arrived at a worse time, since I had planned to spend the day programming. Of course, I could be grateful that this is the first real migraine [...]
Yes, one more dead Mac
Saturday, July 30th, 2005I am back on my spare 15″ Titanium Powerbook because my iMac G5 20″ is pretty much unusable. It has started to develop some nasty (and unpredictable) kernel panics, and at this point there is no way I can trust it for the 20+ work hours/week I am expected to crank out from my home [...]

Thursday, July 28th, 2005Today we had another really rough day making CVS do what we wanted it to. The worst part is that even with all the hassle it is still better than to NOT use some kind of version control. What we were trying to do was to keep working on a site that was behind the [...]

The Simpsons Official Site From the article: On the whole, this situation with Vista has got me brooding. To be fair, not every feature is [...]
“Unsafe and unacceptable”
Thursday, July 28th, 2005NASA has announced that while the piece of foam that fell off the launch of STS-114 does not put the shuttle and crew in any kind of danger, the program is “unsafe and unacceptable” and the whole shuttle fleet is back to grounded status. The STS-114 media page has plenty of high-resolution pictures of the [...]

CVS sucks it. Hard.
Monday, July 25th, 2005How could something so god damn useful as a version control system can be at the same time so frustrating to use when you try to apply it to a web-based environment? I feel like we are being punished for doing the right thing by using CVS instead of just winging it. Here’s the problem: [...]
