Parallels 4.0 printing problems

For those of you thinking of upgrading to Parallels 4.0, you might want to wait a bit yet. At least, if you are, like me, hoping that Parallels 4.0 solves its long-standing printing problems. Unfortunately, it appears to be worse than in 3.0, although the problem may not be entirely the fault of Parallels.
The “old [...]

Low IQ connection

I found this post interesting, although the lack of citation means that it’s potentially meaningless. But the graphic somehow explains a lot:

What I really identified with, though, is not the fancy chart that shows how red states tend to have lower IQs, but some of the comments posted by other readers. The fact that the majority [...]

The agile disease

Luke Halliwell recently wrote an exceptional piece titled The Agile Disease. And, as someone that pushes this disease in various forms, you might be surprised to hear that I agree with just about everything he’s written on the topic, save a few points. For example, the commercial trendiness of Agile and its “manifesto” is just [...]

Subversion of OS/X

I recently stumbled on a comparison of Version and Cornerstone, two leading Subversion clients for Mac OS/X. These are both excellent clients for SCM control, although if you use an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ you probably won’t need a stand-alone SCM client. In my case, I’m more interested in accessing the code than [...]

Installing Adobe CS4

Looking forward to CS4? So am I, but you best be warned… Adobe is sticking true to form and making the installation process a nightmare. I’m terrified of what kind of crap it’s going to leave behind on my disk after I upgrade. Probably best to completely remove CS3 before attempting CS4…

Ad fan

Are you a fan of advertising? Maybe you’re curious if everyone else is as horrified by commercialism as you are? Or it’s just that you like watching Heidi Klum play Guitar Hero in her underwear over and over again?
Check out AdvertFan and you’ll likely find what you’re looking for. If you want to critique or [...]

Hear hear

“This isn’t about yelling, this isn’t about politics, this isn’t really just about proposition 8.” This is about humanity, and those of us who don’t have enough of it.

Hear hear, Mr. Olbermann.

Tell me thrice

In certain military contexts there’s the concept of “tell me three times,” a form of checksum that eliminates error by introducing redundancy. This is something I’ve been meaning to write a meaningful piece on for a while — and this diagram is at the root of it. It’s an integral part to any complete process… [...]

New skin and WordPress 2.6

Upgrading WordPress is getting easier and easier, especially with handy little plugins like the WordPress Automatic Upgrade. Three blogs upgraded in just a couple of hours (and that includes all the tweaking and plugin upgrades that go along with it).
So, at any rate, the old Boss Logic look has been around for three years or [...]
