The guy that loaned it to me needs it back so I’ve gotta let it go. Sure has been nice, though: 15″ screen (beeyootiful!), 768M RAM, 667MHz PowerPC G4, OS X 10.2.6, AirPort, Office X. And I was just starting to learn the inner secrets of the underlying Un*x implementation, too. Oh well, maybe someday I’ll have one I can call my own.

Came across this site while browsing bloglines.com top feeds. Looks like you can have it create an RSS feed from a site that doesn’t already provide one. It’s been in operation since sometime last year and it’s still in beta but it looks good to me. So far I haven’t created an RSS feed. Maybe one of you would be interested?

and has been moved to SourceForge. Find more information about it, including download links, here.

From the July 22 show:

“Leo and Patrick recommend the following partitions.

200MB to 2GB partition for your swap file. This should be your first partition.
C: drive. This is for Windows XP and your applications. Make it 20GB to 40GB.
Partition to hold all your temporary directories. 10GB.
Partition the rest to hold your documents and other personal data.”

I’d never considered creating a partition just for TEMP. Hmmmm … dunno if it’d optimize any head access but it’d sure reduce fragmentation on the other drives. Ditto for a dedicated swap partition.

Says it was added in SP1 but I can’t find it anywhere in gpedit.msc.

Supposedly buymusic.com has more tunes that Apple’s store and single cuts are only 79 cents.

(Why is it the EBCDIC character set used on IBM mainframes has a cent-sign but the 7-bit ASCII character set we all use on out machines still doesn’t?).

Was contacted by someone at bloki.com asking for an export of my weblog here on blogger (along with instructions as to how to effect the export) so they could verify their import processes. Can’t wait!
