Tiger Talk

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

If you saw Angela’s post from Friday night, then you probably figured out that we did get the upgrade to Tiger installed on her eMac, and you probably know how much fun she was having with Dashboard widgets. It was a pretty painless upgrade, and once she went to bed Friday night, I spent a couple of hours playing around with it myself. The fact that her machine now sees the Windows workgroup, shows me what shares there are to connect to on the file server, and mounts those shares as drives once I authenticate with the server, blew me away. Huge step forward for incorporating Apple OS X machines into a small office SOHO network effortlessly. It’s always been possible with some expertise and work, but this could be done by anyone in no time at all. Nice…

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about Tiger as time goes on…

    Excuse the mess for the moment, I’m playing around with enabling trackbacks using Haloscan’s trackback feature, because, well, because I can. When did I never need any more reason than that? 🙂 I’m not sure if the autodiscovery feature works, I suppose I’ll figure that out in time. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    This is a rant that has been a long time coming, so take this as “the straw that broke the camel’s back” so to speak. It might seem like I’m being a bit harsh and over the top to this particular comment, but it’s a much more general idea than that, as you’ll see. From…

    You’ll of course remember a few days ago when Chris posted his Blogger’s Manifesto, right? Well now David Weinberger has parodied that into the Real Blogger’s Manifesto, which is pretty funny. Then, Mike Sanders kicked in with his question about the original manifesto; how Chris can routinely judge others while asking not to be judged…

    I wasn’t all that interested in Google’s new Desktop Search, but when even my wife’s grandmother starts asking about it, well what kind of a techie would I be if I couldn’t say whether it worked or not. So I installed it at work. It indexed my files in about 10 minutes, which is pretty…
