OSX 10.5.1
The first patch is out, and it seems boring but didn’t make my MacBook Pro explode.

Safari 3 out of beta for 10.4 and Windows
The OSX 10.4.11 update brings the final version of Safari 3 [minus webclips!] to Tiger users, and if you have the Windows beta installed, Apple Software Update will offer you Safari 3 for Windows, as well. It doesn’t seem to be available for Windows on apple.com, yet.
Fixed Wacky Leopard Bug #2, sorta
So, I think I fixed Wacky Leopard Bug #2, or, at least, the symptoms of it. The fix turned out to be simpler than I expected, as I simply had to reset the Keychain according to Apple’s instructions. Honestly, I’m not sure what this did or why the old keychain wouldn’t work, but in this […]

“Deep Sleep” on MacBook Pros
My MacBook Pro has an “alleged” deep sleep mode. I say alleged, because the sleeping part of it seems to be SO DEEP that it never ever wants to wake up. I like to sleep, too, so I empathize a little bit with Lord when he never wants to wake up, but eventually, I need […]
RAM Upgrade
I upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro to 4GB yesterday, and last night, I noticed that things were behaving a bit strange. Activity Monitor told me this: A reboot later, and it was gone.
