I really love having my OSX apps launch as enemies from Megaman, complete with the starfield and the bad video game music.

Here’s how to set up syslogd on OSX to log base station activity.

Note that Tiger is a bit different, so you’ll need to refer to this other article.

Woot! After adding a gigabyte of RAM to my new Mac mini, I’m very, very impressed with it. It’s really a very fast machine — faster than my new iBook.

Here are the Xbench scores of my Mac mini 1.42Ghz versus my G4/500 RAID server.

Note that this is after adding RAM. Before the RAM upgrade, the Mac mini was so horribly slow that I wanted to set it on fire. ProTip: max the RAM.

Apple to Supply iBooks for Cobb County

Apple???? today announced that the Cobb County School District has selected Apple as its supplier in the largest ever one-to-one computer learning initiative. The district’s program, named “Power To Learn,” plans for Apple to provide iBook???? G4s to every student and teacher in the district, starting with deployment this fall of more than 17,000 iBooks for teachers district-wide and students at four high schools designated as demonstration sites. Pending school board approval, the second and third phases of the program will equip all Cobb County high school and middle school students with iBooks beginning in 2006, resulting in a total deployment of 63,000 iBooks.

Too bad I’m not a high school student in Georgia.

This is how not to install Tiger on an older G4:

Insert DVD.
Listen to DVD whir.
Realize you only have a CDRW installed, not a DVDR.
Mutter obscenities.
Re-visit the horror of installing the CDRW into the G4.
Locate old slot-load DVD-Rom drive.
Crack the G4 case and splice in the DVD-R.
Install Tiger, and be amazed.

These colorized Mac Minis look pretty sweet.

Is “colorized” really a word?
