I try an experiment to see if I can stay productive without Microsoft Word. Last week, in an effort to get my old 12″ PowerBook to run more efficiently, I decided to wipe the hard disk clean and reinstall Tiger with a clean install. After installing it, I got a little crazy and decided Continue reading A Computer without Word? November 10th, 2007
Do you really need it? I installed Leopard on my aging but otherwise faithful 12″ PowerBook G4 yesterday. I hadn’t planned on updating it because I didn’t think it had enough processing power to handle the new OS. But it met Mac OS X 10.5 requirements, so I figured, what the heck? I could Continue reading Leopard Tip: Delete the All Documents Search November 9th, 2007
I install Leopard on the last of my three Macs. Today I did something I didn’t think I’d do: I installed Leopard on my 12″ PowerBook G4. I wasn’t planning on it. I didn’t think the G4 was beefy enough to run Leopard. But when I checked the system requirements, I was pleased to Continue reading Three Computers, Three Leopard Installs October 9th, 2007
A quick tip for folks who use a cell phone to connect to the Internet while on the road. One of the reasons I bought my Treo back in May was because I wanted a phone that I could use with my laptop to connect to the Internet when I was away from WiFi Continue reading Ping to Keep Your Connection Alive August 28th, 2007
With 90+ photos appearing randomly in my old site’s header, I wasn’t about to leave them behind. One of the reasons I chose the Cutline 3 Column Right theme for my site’s redesign is because I wanted a three column layout that was wider than my old site. Studies — including stats from all Continue reading Web Site Redesign: Fitting in My Photos August 10th, 2007
What’s on my Mac. Continue reading Ten Dashboard Widgets I Can’t Live Without March 26th, 2007
So that’s what’s going on! One of the first things I noticed after updating Mac OS X Tiger to 10.4.9 was that my CD eject key didn’t seem to work anymore. Normally, I’d just push it and the CD drawer would open. But it just didn’t work like that anymore. Not having time Continue reading Mac OS X 10.4.9: Media Eject key delay February 24th, 2007
I try out two wireless mice and have a clear winner. Continue reading Mouse Wars: Microsoft vs. Logitech February 19th, 2007
Why I don’t Genius Bar hop and other comments regarding my recent hard disk problem. One of my jobs as a blogger is to produce at least one blog entry a week. As you may have noticed if you follow this blog, it looks like I’ve been slacking off lately. Well, I just Continue reading On Geniuses December 27th, 2006
On a Macintosh. Anyone who visits this site regularly will know that I’m a Mac user. I’ve been using a Mac since 1989 and although I’m required to occasionally use a Windows PC for some of my books and articles, I really prefer Macs. And if you’re a Mac user, you know that the Continue reading The Joy of a Two-Button Mouse December 7th, 2006
A spam filter plugin for Mac users. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been getting a TON of spam e-mail lately — much of it to my .mac e-mail account. Most of it falls into one of a few categories: Stock “recommendations.” Award announcements. Letters from widows or businessmen in Nigeria. Offers for Continue reading SpamSieve September 29th, 2006
Don’t make the font size larger — zoom it! Yesterday, I reread a blog entry I wrote earlier this year about my failing eyesight (“The Eyes Had It“). My far vision has always been bad, but now I’m beginning to lose my close vision, too. Miraz, my co-author on the WordPress book, commented that Continue reading Solutions for Failing Eyesight August 29th, 2006
Information from Apple’s Web site. Apple has determined that certain lithium-ion batteries containing cells manufactured by Sony Corporation of Japan pose a safety risk that may result in overheating under rare circumstances. The affected batteries were sold worldwide from October 2003 through August 2006 for use with the following notebook computers: 12-inch iBook G4, Continue reading iBook/PowerBook Battery Recall July 14th, 2006
I need to check the appearance of a site with as many browsers as possible. As I’ve mentioned here and elsewhere, I’ve been working hard to rebuild my Flying M Air Web site with WordPress. The design I ended up with closely matched my new brochures (which I just got yesterday; they look great!). Continue reading Can You Help Me? Oops! Nevermind! July 10th, 2006

I find the right bookmark synchronizer for FireFox. One of the features I immediately missed when I switched from Safari to Firefox was bookmark synchronization. I use two different Macintoshes on a daily basis — my desktop Mac at the office and my little PowerBook — and it really bugged me that they didn’t Continue reading Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer April 11th, 2006
I buy a new iPod accessory. It isn’t the iPod that’s costly. It’s the accessories. Anyway, one of the things I like to do with my iPod is listen to podcasts. The only problem is that I don’t listen to my iPod often enough to keep up with all the podcasts I like to Continue reading i-Fusion |
