So Little To Say, and So Little Time To Say It.

I have a few draft posts getting finished up over the next few weeks. I’m considering switching this domain to mainly personal material, but with some tech commentary. Furthermore I may launch a new blog with the goal of keeping up with some other projects I’ve been working on. That is really here-nor-there for now, [...]

With Activity Monitor and the Finder open, and, a few background apps (Remote Buddy, Proxi, and PTHPasteboard). I had just closed all other apps: Mail, FireFox, iTunes, PandoraBoy, Adium, iCal, probably a few others.
With 3GB Physical RAM in this system, I was left with 750MB free:

This, is no good.
Update (12/29/09): I finally googled this, no [...]

For about $8 I made the equivalent to the Griffin iCurve/Elevator with PVC pipe.
Original idea was from Instructables. I adjusted for size of the MacBook Pro, and used 1/2″ instead of 3/4″ PVC. 3/4″ seemed far too heavy duty for this.
If you want to make one for your 15″ MacBook Pro I recommend using 1/2″ [...]

I prefer using iCal in “Weekly” view mode. My problem with this mode though is that once you get towards the end of the week, you will not see what is coming up the next day(s) without explicitly switching to the next week - surely we can fix this?
What I wanted was to be able [...]

If under 1TB in size simply calculate: (Advertised size in GB) * 0.931
Or, to be exact: (Advertised size in GB * 10^9)/1024^3 should do the trick…
Over one TB you can not just assume 1TB = 1,000GB since the advertising calculation is in base 10, and this crazy device in front of you prefers base 2… [...]

So, you’ve got more than one screen? Life is good with all that wonderful screen real estate, then BAM… You end up back with just your main screen, but your applications have left their windows on those other displays, far out of your reach…
Let’s fix that. This little script simply goes and tells all of [...]

So, here I am. Forcing myself to write something. This is not turning in to a journal, I don’t need you knowing about my personal life.
I don’t have a whole lot to say about it, at least not that anyone hasn’t already said - BUT, I’d love the iPhone to have support for 3rd party [...]
