That took entirely too long. Great URL, though.
If FAIL had a sound, I think this would be it.

Anyone else seeing this? Safari 4 + GrowlMail =...

@lockbox:
growlmail hijacked mail.app - goodbye growlmail Same thing happened to me shortly after Safari 4 install. Bug report listed WebKit-related exception. I think it’s related.
Note to Self
To find the manual entry for the parameter -prune for the command find, the Google search terms “man find -prune” is not an advisable way to get the information you need.

Anytime I hear the MacBook’s fans kick into jet fighter mode, I know one of two things is almost definitely happening:
I’m on a site that uses Flash

Hulu Blocks Boxee →
The ads are still in Hulu videos on Boxee, so it’s difficult to appreciate the reasoning behind this move, other than to stunt the growth of apps like Boxee while Hulu’s content providers play catch up.
This is so annoying, and yet further proof that content providers just don’t get it. This is not the way to get people to watch things on Hulu. This is the way to get...

Don't be my Valentine →
What do I want? How about men and women loving, caring and sharing the other 364 days a year? February 14 isn’t the only time to send flowers to your woman (ladies, we wouldn’t mind getting a surprise delivery as well!). How about dropping her a flower arrangement on May 14?

Couldn’t agree more with the...

Turn on AirPort
Disable Synergy
Quit Adium
Turn off the rear-view mirror
While my time...

Programmers are lazy; AppleScript to the rescue!
During the workday I generally live on three IM networks: AIM, GMail Chat/Jabber, and Yahoo. My work contacts are nearly entirely on Yahoo.
I’m still a new-enough Mac user that I think it’s cool to have the song that I’m listening to shown on my available message, which is easy thanks to Adium. However, even though I extremely rarely listen to objectionable or inappropriate...
Lost my keys
peroty:
They are nowhere to be found.
I fear they are in my car’s trunk.
Along with enough electronics and computers to double the value of my car.
Don’t steal my car… Projector is in there too. CaseyLiss, no ideas.
Damnit I was out to dinner!!! I missed my golden opportunity!!! hahaha

Hackintoshes Possibly More Popular than Linux →
As determined by a particular analytics company’s reports of OS version “Mac OS X (no version specified)” eclipsing “Linux”. Theory goes that only Hackintoshes would not report a version number.

A Game of Hope - This is a video version of the story I posted a couple of weeks ago. Truly inspiring!
I had reblogged Jason’s previous post; this one deserves the same treatment. Very neat video with the Awww-o-meter reaching all new highs.
