Been a very very long time.

Been busy with work as usual. Really starting to wonder why I didn’t buy a powerbook and switch to OSX years ago. I know linux offers a lot of freedom, but honestly, it starts to be a pain in the ass after a while.

Plan on buying the new Airport Extreme Base Station as soon as it starts shipping in february. Also since it’s time to replace my aging Shuttle XPC desktop, I plan on going the Mac Mini route. It’s too bad Apple is a little stingy on the default RAM it ships with , 512MB is probably not going to cut it. Just picked up a Wireless Mighty Mouse this weekend and I still haven’t gotten a chance to take it out the box. To summarize, apple owns my ass.

update.

January 12th, 2007

Not much going on lately, just getting used to the macbook. Never realized how much of a fan of the right-click I am. I must say i’m extremely happy with this laptop and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Quicksilver has made my life much easier. I have so many triggers setup I can’t even remember them all.

My new macbook and some useful OSX links.

January 2nd, 2007

I recently jumped on the apple bandwagon and bought a spanking new white macbook. I was flirting with the idea of switching to OSX for quite a while now. What really caught my attention was their stylish design, nicer than E17 UI , BSD userland stuff, and not having to run Linux as a desktop every again. After years of using FreeBSD/OpenBSD and a little linux I grew tired of compiling software, spending too much time dealing with stupid package managers (rpm , gentoo’s stupid emerge, apt crap). Suse Linux looked promising and I still run it, but it’s nowhere near as polished as OSX seems to be, although the package management is pretty sweet (for linux). To keep a long story short i’m quite excited about learning about OSX each time I touch it.
