Don’t forget the drivers!

February 16, 2007

in posts

I’ve been reading Matt Woodward’s entry Setting Up a Mac for ColdFusion Development and I’ve noticed he’s missed one minor, but kind of important thing – in order for ColdFusion to be able to connect to datasources that use the downloaded drivers, you actually need them findable in the ColdFusion classpath. So, Matt’s recommendation that [...]

CF on Mac Intel with Apache 2

January 31, 2007

in posts

I’ve finally set up CF on my MacBook Pro using the Definitive Guide from Mark Andrachek. It all works brilliantly.
Now, like any good geek, I’ve begun thinking that this must be able to be done with Apache 2.x. The most recent release available is 2.0.52 from ServerLogistics, which is the one I use [...]

A day with Seth Godin

December 20, 2006

in asides

Seth is something of a hero of mine. If only I could go (along with the bazillion other “if onlys” that preclude me from being there are the killers that are location and distance).
If you are within reachable distance of NY and want a worthwhile day, spend the money and go on February 13th.
If [...]

Spotted over at TUAW, Mark Morford’s SFGate review of the MacBook Pro pushes up against NSFW if your firewall is checking for certain phrases.

Entitled Make the most of mapping down under, the article describes options for Australian users in terms of incorporation of web-based map data into their web applications.

in asides

I would need a Mac Mini in order to pimp it. There is one in my Amazon Wishlist; if you are a user of The ACME Guide and like the Guide enough, why not get me the Mini (I’ll appreciate it)

Deleting old mail in Mail.app

February 20, 2006

in Uncategorized

One of the few things I miss about Outlook, having made the move to OS X and Apple Mail, is the ability on a folder to set it to archive or delete old (for a given value of old) mail at regular intervals. Seeing as I subscribe to a fairly significant number of mailing [...]

iLife and iWork ‘06 – worth updating?

January 13, 2006

in Uncategorized

UPDATE: And, oh yeah, why don’t Apple offer a demo for download? From the iWork web site:
A 30-day iWork ???06 Trial will be available on new hardware, in retail boxes of Mac OS X and iLife ‘06. After 30 days, the Trial becomes an iWork ???06 player.
That’s no good to me! What [...]

So, I’m new to this whole Mac/OSX thing…
Where should I be looking for the best support, guidance, software release info, etc.?
I’ve found the ones listed below, which seem okay, but I haven’t really had time to look over them thoroughly. I know there have to be hidden gems out there somewhere.
Sites I’ve found so [...]
