I recently upgraded from OS X Lion (10.7.1) from Snow Leopard so that I could be up-to-date and benefit from any good features. Truthfully I liked the old Expose and Spaces better than this new Mission Control interface for virtual desktops…but oh well it will do. After upgrading to Lion the one thing that has…

Netflix is Throwing It All Away
I recently watched the video apology from Netflix Co-Founder and CEO, Reed Hastings. I really expected to gain some insight on why Netflix raised their pricing which would help me to understand why it was necessary, something along the lines of it being necessary for negotiating better content with content providers.

I realized this morning that I was having dependency issues with ImageMagick on my Mac, which I installed using MacPorts. I had recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, so it made sense that I needed to update the software to resolve the issues, much like I had when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I…

The popup boxes created using this plugin worked perfectly fine in Firefox and Google Chrome (as is typically the case), as well as Internet Explorer 8 and 9…but for some reason the width of the boxes were so wide that they…

Viber Ringtone Sounds Like
A co-worker was using the Viber app for iPhone and received a phone call. It sounded like a song I had identified from the 80′s but I wasn’t sure which one. Though it’s not exactly like it, it’s very reminscient of Big in Japan by Alphaville.

I found this article, which instructed me to somehow change the PEAR setting for data_dir. I installed PhpDocumentor in my web root and it just didn’t work and gave me a bunch of errors in…

Crab cakes
As part of my aim to switch to a healthier lifestyle. I’m trying to cook using more vegetables. Tonight I’m having crab cakes with brown rice, diakon raddish, carrots, steamed greens (spinach, mustard, collard, turnip), and some boiled yams. It’s the first time I’ve made yams myself. I was surprised that they are white, not…
