I love Macs. I have 3 Macbooks, 1 Macbook Pro, and 2 iMacs in the house. Of course, all of them are being used by the rest of the family. My workhorse is a PC running Ubuntu/XP Pro — Until now… That’s right, I built a HACKINTOSH!

(Due to Cmmj’s initial efforts an official Ubuntu wiki article has been created)

New Server – Same name – an SSH issue
Today I started playing around with Apples’ Darwin Calendar Server . I’ve attempted this before in the past and I didn’t get very far with it. However, when I took up the reigns again today, I encountered a completely different problem that took me a little bit of time to resolve. In short, I had incorrect SSH keys in my local client to connect to my server. All of you SSH/Unix gurus out there probably can skip this, but this may help some nubies.
I don’t know where I’ve been, but I missed this great writeup on Coding Sanity: Review:WINDOWS XP . I also upgraded to XP. I may try Vista again if I get a beefier machine. — and that’s a sad commentary on the amount of hardware you need to run just an OS!!
Okay.. I’ve come to the decision that I’m going to be using MS Live Writer for my main blogging tool. It seems to have all of the features I’m looking for – except for being cross-platform. No worries, I came up with a game plan that would allow me to use Ubuntu as my main OS and still use Live Writer.
