MacZot.com is a website that teams up with software developers to offer either free software or software at a very discounted price. I’ve used this website in the past and I won a full version copy of Menuet. Trust me, it’s GOOD software they offer. Today they’ve teamed up with the guys who brought us […]

I am not sure how many of you remember the game Bugdom which came installed with your new iMac G3 (the colored iMacs!). I know that I would sneck away from some classes in middle school just to play that game. I was usually dragged away by the teacher who’s class I was skipping out […]

Ever since Blizzard released their 1.10 patch for World of WarCraft last week the servers have been down more then usual. Even when I can login it’s extremely laggy and I’ll be disconnected within 5 minutes. This little widget allows me to quickly check the status of the server I play on. Although even if […]

I’ve had the MacBook Pro for about a week now. I started with just browsing the web, but I’ve evolved into using more of my daily applications (including the likes of the Apple Remote Desktop, the Server Admin tools, the Cisco VPN Client, etc.), some Universal and some PowerPC-native (so running in Rosetta).

… No, not the show nor the intelligent and hilarious Jon Stewart, and it wasn’t even the topic of the day: Last night I downloaded the latest episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (03/20/2006) from the iTunes Music Store (gotta love their Multi-Pass!) only to discover that it was corrupted around 4:32 and […]

Morgan and I have had some fun comparing the speed of the MacBook Pro 1.83 core duo with my 1.67 GHz Powerbook. We haven’t been timing it, but the MacBook definitely boots faster, and many apps, such as iCal, Safari, and Garageband launch faster. Side-by-side, the two machines look almost identical. The screen on the […]

Last week I had a scheduled outage for our website that was set to last a total of five minutes. Obviously, I hate scheduling those kinds of outages as normally I can make them transparent to my coworkers and our customers, but on occasion there’s no way around them. Mid way through minute number one, […]
