Asides

  • May 5 - Words of Wisdom

    Without getting into the whys and hows this statement came about, I find it very simple, yet poignant and applicable to many of life's situations.

    We're still learning to walk, and we're going to trip every now and then and sometimes when we run, we're going to fall on our faces. But as long as we get up, try again, and learn something from the experience, in the end, skinned knees and all, it'll be worth it.

    Thanks Sean.

    edit - might I add, I'm in a new-ish romantic relationship, which very recently hit a bump, and perhaps this analogy hit home there more than anywhere.

  • May 1 - Mac SVN Monitoring Widget

    SVN Notifiier is a handy little Mac Dashboard widget that, using Growl, will notify you when a local working copy is out of date. I've not quite gotten the "sticky" notice to work, but I just might need to edit the actual Growl settings.

    Still, it's nice to be able at a glance check your dashboard, or see a little growl notice pop up.

  • April 26 - Apple Drivers in VMware Fusion

    I think with the help of a google search and Scott Gruby", I've figured out how to use my bluetooth keyboard in VM.

    Finally, I found a reference to inserting the Leopard DVD while in Windows. I tried this and when I did, the BootCamp driver installer came up and installed my drivers. Perfect; why couldn’t VMWare say something about this on their website?

    Thanks Scott and I agree, why isn't this documented somewhere.

    Edit 8/1/08Seems you also have to disconnect the USB Bluetooth Host Controller to get it to work. Something about only one OS can control the device at a time, so the machine gets confused when the two are both connected. Disconnecting the controller, shutting down the XP install, then restarting VMware Fusion finally got it working.

AirPort Express and Verizon

February 19

Note to self: Verizon's default WEP key on the Actiontec router is WEP 40 (which apparently is also WEP 64 :-/ ) in Leopard's Airport Utility, not the default WEP 128 that the utility picks by default when trying to connect the APX to the existing wireless network to utilize AirTunes.
