Damn, that was fast.

I suppose that 18 months of heavy use is a decent run for the MagSafe adaptor that came with my MacBook. Unfortunately, however, I had to get a new adaptor because the cable leading from the power converter to the plug that attaches to the MacBook was starting to fray. Duct tape just wasn't good enough.
I'm surprised, however, at how quickly I got my new adaptor. I ordered it last night, it was shipped that night, and FedEx just delivered it today. I have to admit that I'm pleased; Apple tends to ship my orders quickly. The last part I ordered, a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, was supposed to ship in one to three weeks (according to Apple's website). I got it in three days.
Now that's what I call service.

It's nice to see that Realmac Software isn't content to just take my money and expect another fifty bucks every time they do a revision release. Read More...
Apple, TotalFark, bad jokes, and Starbreaker

After a bit of writing and rewriting, chapter 29 of Starbreaker is done. I'll include a summary, when I'm done holding forth on other matters that are likely to matter only to me. Read More...
starbreaker.net's iTunes Catalog

So, you want to see what sort of music I've got, eh? I tried using Last.fm's tools for a while, but they're just too damned clunky. Then, I tried exporting playlists from iTunes and parsing them with PHP. Something tells me that if I spend another night tampering with that shit, my wife will fucking kill me.
So, I found a tool called iTunesCatalog that'll do the dirty work for me and upload the results. If you want to see what I've got, click here.

I probably should have opted to put a bigger hard drive into my MacBook, but at the time I figured that 60GB was plenty. And it probably is, but an 19GB music collection doesn't leave one with much wiggle room. Read More...

Looks like I'll be buying RapidWeaver

I'm a lazy bastard who hand-coded a site and then never lifted a finger to maintain it. I tried iWeb and it isn't good enough for me, so I looked for something better. Click the link if you give a damn. Read More...
