Looks like there’s a new Lorem Ipsum
Pretty amusing.
My new longboard!
Western Digital has the most time wasting automated phone system I have ever encountered.
It appears that my MacBook’s hard drive is dying.
This sucks.
switchDiskSizeBase
A great little command line script to switch Snow Leopard from measuring file sizes in base10 back to base2.
Did I really launch that App?
If I’m on my Mac I know, because the icon starts bouncing in the Dock.
If I’m on my computer at work running Windows XP I can never be sure until a splash screen pops up or the app itself shows its window.
Apple Tech Support
Whenever I get off the phone with them I never fail to be happier than before I called.
That’s really saying something.
Bravo Apple, bravo.
This is why I am now going to refrain from using url shortening services. They are great for the short term, but long term, they are completely unreliable.
Sometimes I rename files
On my Mac its awesome. I just click the file, press Enter, and type away, and press Enter when I’m done.
Sometimes I need to change text from either the front or the back of a file name.
Again, simple on my Mac.
If I want to change text on the front of the name, I just click the file, press Enter, and press the left arrow key to put my cursor at the front.
If I want to change text on the back, I repeat, but press the right arrow key and my cursor is inserted at the end of the file name, before the extension.
Simple.
On Windows, a different story exists.
If I want to change text at the front, I can’t just hit the left arrow key once, I have to either click where I want my cursor to go, or hold the key down.
Not simple.
