- Where to Find Technical Books in the GTA? Posted by Site Admin on 29th Nov 2010 in Rants | 0 comments I figured it was time to learn AppleScript, for real. Between the use of Automator and Noodlesoft’s Hazel I’ve been able to automate many tasks on my Mac (like making automatic redundant copies of media files across external hard drives) but there are inherent limitations in both those tools. AppleScript, on the other hand, has been the long-time fully-functional scripting solution on the OS X platform...
- The Fine Line Between Content and Code — A Blogging Platform Posted by Site Admin on 29th Sep 2010 in Administrivia, Blogging, Rants | 0 comments Yesterday I decided that my blog was looking kind of…, well, dull. And a bit of a pain to manage too. Let me explain. Years ago I used WordPress to do my blogging. It seemed relatively straightforward to install on my web server, allowed for easy creation of posts both through its built-in Dashboard and via third party applications (like MarsEdit… which at the time had limited WordPress support). But the look...
- Want: Twitter Sync Posted by Site Admin on 14th Sep 2010 in Rants | 0 comments Why is this so hard? As someone who is fairly typical of users these days — sometimes at home, sometimes at work, sometimes using transit, or just bored somewhere waiting for something / someone — I like to check up on Twitter when time permits. Since there is almost always either a Mac or an iDevice nearby (washroom trips anyone?) getting access to it should be no problem. Unless of course you don’t...

Well, I was getting tired of paying through the nose for gas, so after mondo research I ordered a smart fortwo (supposedly it’s officially not capitalized…) in April; it arrived in mid July. I was fortunate in that this one had already been pre-ordered by another dealer (with coincidentally the same colours and options I was looking for) so my dealer in Mississauga had it redirected. Otherwise I would have been waiting until September or October, apparently. If you think that’s bad, I’ve read that Americans are waiting between 16 and 22 months to take delivery.
