New Setup

December 15, 2006

I finally received a Dell monitor that works (3rd time is the charm), so this is what I ended up with:

  • Dell 2405FP
  • Dell 2001FP
  • MacBook Pro
  • Mac Mini
  • Logitech X Revolution
  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
  • iCurve (thanks Matt!)

It’s working out pretty well so far. I am using Synergy to control the Mini and the MacBook Pro from the same mouse and keyboard. Also have Parallels installed so I can run Windows when needed. TODO: Upgrade to 2GB of RAM in both the Mini and the MacBook Pro.

I now have a $2500 mousepad.

I guess I should really get it fixed :)

UPDATE: I contacted Apple last Friday and received my new charger in the mail today (Monday). Pretty fast!

OS X not so fool proof

September 10, 2006

Yesterday my Mac Mini let me know there was an available security update. Should be easy enough I thought so I clicked the “Install” button. After about 2 minutes of installing I received the error that the updated failed to install and had been moved to the trash. If I wanted to attempt to reinstall the update I should remove the package from the trash and click on it. Again, seems easy enough, so I tried.

Nothing happened.
