ORNYX

Mac OS X Netbook

I’ve all the intention to purchase a netbook and hack OS X into working shape on it. This is in a bid to have an ultra portable that I can bring to lessons or practically anywhere. Plonk in an ExpressCard HSDPA modem or actually mod it into the unit would make the perfect device for mobile computing.

As of now, it seems that the MSI Wind is the best candidate for such a system due to its widespread support, a customised installation of OS X floating around the torrent networks as well as actual work currently being done to rectify the problems with official WiFi and Sound inputs.

That is, until the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 hits. Really love the 9″ form factor and the business look. And woopiee do, some guy has Leopard running on it already!

2.7-hemorrhage

Just did an SVN update for the installation of WordPress that this blog is running on and woah. Crazyhorse has kinda been integrated into the builds. Left hand navigation and the whole she bang. This after lots of extensive user testing.

I guess this will take some getting used to but otherwise, looks like a pretty solid release.

Site5 Credit

They have just credited the money I’ve paid them back to my Credit Card. So I guess this marks the full transition to Slicehost.

IRC

“how did the butcher introduce his wife”
“meat patty”

Its been ages since I’ve gone onto any IRC networks since the demise of its popularity when MSN came about. Locally, it has kind of died down, but overseas amongst the more technically competent community, it still thrives.

Freenode.net is one such place and I’ve been lurking for the past few days ever since getting a slicehost account on #slicehost. Its been fun so far with so much to learn.

The Work Area

The new setup, originally uploaded by jeremyfoo.

Finally got the table cleaned up so I have more space to use when I’m working on my projects.

Going for the full Mac OS X setup once I dump my current Windows Mobile phone for the iPhone when it hits our fair shores.
