I bougth some new Vibram FiveFingers shoes.
update: I haven’t use them that much, I broke my pinky toe. (I wasn’t wearing my vibram)
I didn’t want to come to this, but Safari’s tabs on top is getting on my nerve. If you ever miss the X to close the tab and double click, it minimize the browser window. That happen so many times a day that I stop counting.
Here is what to do to get the old look and feel back.
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO
That’s it, problem solved.
This is great news! I will be receiving Twitter’s SMS again.
I always had problem connecting to my home computer running OSX from a Windows computer. VNC was slow, it didn’t work too well.
I tried TightVNC today and it solved all my problems. It’s fast and work as good as screen sharing on OSX.
I’m just happy to report this, you may carry on! :-)
I installed Tweetie on my iPhone. I can only say that it is way better than Twitteriffic.
I was using the free version of Twitteriffic, it might not compare with Tweetie since the last one is a paid app.
I’ve installed Ubuntu Linux on my Vaio P. It’s quite easy with Ubuntu 9.04 Beta. Graphic card, wireless, some function keys, hibernate and suspend works out of the box. Some tweak are needed, but everything works quite ok.
Here is what needs to be tweak for it to work. First thing, graphic card, you need 2 tweaks for it to work in native 1600x768 resolution.
Grub, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst modify the line beginning with “kernel” and append this last command to boot in 1600x768x16bpp:
vga=0x367
Don’t forget to update grub:
# sudo update-grub
Then you need to add the following line to your /etc/X11/xorgs.conf file. In the device section, right under “Identifier”:
driver “fbdev”
Now reboot and you will have native resolution. It wont be a speed daemon, but it’s really usable. You can play low res flash video full screen without any skipping.
It’s now been almost 3 weeks since I got my Vaio P. It’s really a great little laptop. I once had a Asus EeePC 701 and this little dude kicks his ass. Ok, It’s not a great comparaison, I know, first gen Netbook vs a brand new one. But this is only what I have used.
I did try to install Linux on it, but the Vesa resolution isn’t that great, it’s slow as hell! I might as well use Vista. I’ve thought about using Windows 7, they say it’s faster, but the beta will only work until August. After that, you need to reinstall Vista or a new version of Windows 7. Since this is not confirm or anything, I might as well give Vista a try.
Right now, it work ok. I’ve found how to customize it so it feel good. Been using it with Cygwin and Console2. I’ve also installed Google Chrome. I’ve been using a text editor that looks and feel like Textmate on my Mac. It’s called E. With all those Apps, It’s good to use. And I’m almost not using my MBP anymore. Well at least for day to day browsing.
Oh, and it’s a great laptop to bring with you anywhere when you’re on duty call.
