Steve Jobs passed away today at age 56 after a battle with cancer. Here’s a few random thoughts… On this day, I own a buttload of Apple gear: iPhone, iPod, iPad, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, Apple TV 2, Time Capsule, Mac Mini… I’m planning on getting an iPhone 4S as soon as possible. I was …
Overall, I’m happy with the changes that Lion brings. I was a bit thrown off by some of the changes that happened as Spaces got folded into Mission Control, but once I found out how to assign apps to desktops in the new style I calmed down. We’re stuck with one vexing problem at work …

I’ve made a few updates since my last release a few weeks ago. I thought I’d toss an updated version out there. What’s new in this version: Duration is no longer hard-coded to 32:00 and actually reflects the duration of the show The script will attempt to find the TiVo via Bonjour/mDNS/ZeroConf/DNS-SD/whatever unless passed a …
Previously on “You can imagine where it goes from here”: We released a script to download stuff from the tivo, and then made some improvements to it. After two years of saying I was going to fully automate the process of downloading and transcoding shows for my iPhone, I finally got off my ass and …

Here’s a quick screenshot of it in action on my laptop. Today, to continue his rocking, Dave posted on Leopard’s ssh, ssh-agent, keychain interaction and ways to make it …

I’ve been using Parallel’s Desktop for OS X since it was first available. I just got my upgrade to the latest version. One of the things this version includes is the ability for the Mac to have the C: of windows (when running in a virtual machine) shared to the Mac like any other shared …
I’ve been investigating cmake at work as a better build system for our cross platform C based projects. I’m thinking about starting up a third one, so now is the prefect time to really go after this as for one project we have a build system per platform and on the other we have two …
