Applejack is back!
5·Sep·08
Yes!! My absolute favourite Mac troubleshooting utility is now available for Leopard.
Don’t know what Applejack is? Basically, it’s a utility you can run without a Mac OS X installation DVD, particularly useful if your Mac won’t boot and you can’t use (or don’t have) the DVD.
Simply restart whilst holding Command+S, then type applejack auto at the prompt. Applejack then goes to work repairing permissions, deleting corrupted caches, and basically giving things a good spring clean. It’s saved my bacon more than a few times in the past, but was rendered useless by OS X 10.5 Leopard until this week . Not any more!
Seriously, do yourself a huge favour and download and install Applejack now… You’ll thank me one day.
And don’t forget to donate a little to help fund future development…
Tied in knots

I'm making a concerted effort to learn to tie knots at the moment, and Animated Knots by Grog is just the ticket. Excellent, easy-to-follow animations mean even I'm making great progress! Worth a look.
Fergie Forum exclusive mix
30·Aug·08
My favourite producer and DJ, Fergie, has done a 2 hour mix of his own belting productions since starting his Excentric label.
Absolute quality and highly recommended techno/house from the main man from Larne.
Stick her out : )

Delicious 2.0

Social bookmarking service Delicious gets a re-design, and a new (easier to remember) URL. I like it.
Disproportionately abusive

Giles Coren writes a letter to his sub-editors at The Times.
Special prize for who can point out which one of them needs to get a little perspective on things.
Joe Solo ‘Blowin down the old dusty road’

Absolute quality, as always, from my mate Joe Solo. Check out his dates if you’re near any of his upcoming gigs – you won’t be disappointed.
Hand-written and personal
29·Jul·08
I’ve waxed lyrical and evangelised heavily about the Wufoo form-creation service before. I still use it and love it to bits.
So I was really, really deep-down chuffed to receive a hand-written, personally addressed card through the post from the Wufoo team today. In it they thank me for continuing to use the service after all this time and for contributing a little bit to their success.
It’s a cliche, but in a time when it’s so easy for a company to fire off an anonymous email (or maybe an automatically personalised one, at best), it makes all the difference to know that someone has personally thought about, prepared, written and posted a proper old-fashioned note, especially considering it’s all the way from Florida to the UK.
So to Wufoo – thanks : )
Loving the Remote
19·Jul·08
I can’t express how much I’m absolutely loving the Remote iPhone app.
Oddly I missed this on the first launch of the store. I’m sat here happily controlling the tunes playing from the Mac Book Pro (which is located way up in the office upstairs) whilst sat in the living room, but through various speakers around the house, all via the Airport Express units scattered around the place.
It’d be an amazing app anyway just to be able to remotely use iTunes with such complete control, but to be able to designate which remote Airport Express unit to pipe the music through, anywhere in the house, makes this simply killer.
Love it.
