JT: Just a quick note – this article is a bit long in the tooth and uses some possibly archaic processes. If you want up to date info – look to the OSx86 Project.
Okay – I took the plunge today to upgrade my box to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4. Using the directions that I’ve posted about before, I was able to successfully upgrade with only a couple of gotchas.
Way back when I heard about the new graphic format PNG, I thought WTH? Why would they go make another format as GIF was fine. When I started blogging, I did a little bit of additional research and found out there was a pretty good reason for the new format (‘new’ meaning that the file format has been around since 1996.) Here’s the wikipedia link on the subject.
In any event, I did find myself making screen shots that I wanted posted on the web. Not all of the screen shots were large – most being icons and the ilk – so I really didn’t need a jpeg file. So I did a little bit more research and I had implemented this little hack that allowed me to change the default file format of OSX’s screen capture. Of course, I didn’t bookmark the hack but fortunately the hack recently was posted on TUAW site and I thought I’d give it a mention here. (TUAW’s article)

I hate technology.
There are a lot bad people in this world — most of them went bad trying to make a living (or rip you off in the effort to get rich.) Case in point, and my current pain, are spammers. Right now I’m getting one delivery failure notice per minute for mail I never sent. It really, really makes me want to inconvenience the culprits lifestyle.
I currently have two domains that I actively use — recycledpapyr.us being one. I was informed by my ISP that they can no longer keep the identity of the domain owners private for the .us domain as per some obscure regulation that is being enforced. So all my contact information can be accessed by a simple whois command. That’s fine.. I really don’t have anything to hide. (The stuff that can get me into trouble has already been sealed by the judge…. 😉
A few posts ago I mentioned that I had installed the new WordPress for iPhone application on my iPhone. I had only posted that one entry from the application since then (only because I was on vacation and got totally engrossed in a couple of books so no time for blogging.) I did start another blog entry with the application but saved it as draft instead of posting it. Since then I’ve had a little more time to look the application so I thought I would put an entry on the blog about it.
