It’s a Safari world after all

12-Jun-07

Safari running on Windows was announced during the WWDC 2007 keynote and is available for download right now. I’m writing this post using it under Windows XP/SP 2.

Let’s count up where Safari/WebKit is in use as of today.
Adobe AIR uses WebKit as their HTML/Javascript engine.
Safari runs under both OS X 10.4.9 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard [...]

ZFS in Leopard

06-Jun-07

Putting ZFS in Leopard is pretty cool. It looks like a nice filesystem.
So, can I access it under Windows? Without resorting to sharing it as a network share?
It’s 2007, I’m really looking for a filesystem I can format my external USB hard drives with, that doesn’t suck, that I can access from either my Windows [...]

Silverlight 1.1 for OS X is Intel only

01-May-07

As best as I can determine, Silverlight 1.1 for OS X is Intel only. I’ve installed both the 1.0 beta and the 1.1 version of Silverlight on my G4 iBook. The 1.0 version works fine, but the 1.1 version crashes both Firefox and Safari. I think it’s intentional and I think my confusion is due [...]

iTunes – quit hurting my music library

02-Jan-07

We have two laptops here at the house. My iBook and our Windows PC. Both of them have iTunes on them and are authorized. All of my music is on a large usb drive that I can connect to either laptop when I need to. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that they can’t share [...]
