Tip: Editing Keyboard Shortcuts

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

I was advised today by Mr. Macgasm that native builds of Chrome were finally being released by the fine folks at Google. Naturally, being a huge fan of the new browser, I rushed straight off to download (after I opened a new browser to replace the Firefox session that had just crashed on me [...]

Check this !#$% out. Hopefully we’ve all heard about the Codeweavers “Lame Duck Challenge Free Offer” whereby Codeweavers are offering FREE copies of their signature software CrossOver Pro. If you haven’t, check out the vid: Let’s say that again: FREE SOFTWARE. Seriously. FREE. So, it’s awesome! Unfortunately, the problem that pretty much everyone has had so far is [...]

I think I have a new favorite software company. This just in: Marketcircle, makers of every freelancer’s best friend software “Billings 3″ have just released the news that they will be offering their own “bailout” for the Mac-loving freelancers of the world. From their email press release: As the U.S. Federal Government is busy managing a $700 billion [...]

I shouldn’t be blogging right now. Really. There are roughly 254 “more important things”, at last count, that I should be doing before I blog. So, why blog now? Well, because I like it, and because I don’t do it enough. So why not blog sooner? Because my mind just hasn’t been on Apple stuff at ALL. What [...]

A confession So, even as a wholly dedicated Mac weenie / freak / guru (I prefer the third option, but have often been saddled with the other two) I sometimes need windows. Well, to be more precise, because the intended audience for most of my work as a web developer tends not to have the taste in [...]

The State of Mac Gaming

I’m no gamer. I’m a geek. I spend most of my days writing PHP, or blogging / reading blogs, or wasting time on <insert favorite socnet site here>. I spend the odd night once or maybe twice a month playing with a friend’s game console, or maybe with a little time waster game on my Mac, but [...]

Quick Tip -> Dashboard Screenshots!

Applicable OSX Versions: Tiger and Leopard (That I know of!) Because I’m a MAJOR keyboard junkie, I tend to find little nuggets of hidden OSX fun from time-to-time. This is just such an occasion. While looking at the Dashboard today to see what time it was in Macgasm-land (aka Ottawa) it occurred to me to try [...]

Entregreeneur: @aDB Let the Twhirl Spanking begin! I’m using web twitter to catch up now.

Sydney Apple Store MADNESS!

(Thanks to Ren and Stimpy for the name for this post). A homeless guy, a globe-trotting father-and-son team, a LONG-time Apple fanatic and his son — and their tent — free hamburger coupons handed out by McDonald’s, and free WiFi courtesy of Apple, Inc.. Such were the sights, sounds and experiences last night as Macgasm went [...]

My Secret Shame

I HATE doing System Updates. Seriously. In my house, at this moment, are at least 4, but probably more like 7, Mac’s with screens very similar to this popping up once a week to annoy the absolute crap out of me. I can hear the “tsk, tsk, tsk-ing”. You, yes you, shut up. I’m a busy guy. [...]
