Tiger Talk

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

If you saw Angela’s post from Friday night, then you probably figured out that we did get the upgrade to Tiger installed on her eMac, and you probably know how much fun she was having with Dashboard widgets. It was a pretty painless upgrade, and once she went to bed Friday night, I spent a couple of hours playing around with it myself. The fact that her machine now sees the Windows workgroup, shows me what shares there are to connect to on the file server, and mounts those shares as drives once I authenticate with the server, blew me away. Huge step forward for incorporating Apple OS X machines into a small office SOHO network effortlessly. It’s always been possible with some expertise and work, but this could be done by anyone in no time at all. Nice…

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about Tiger as time goes on…

    I took the big plunge last night. Now that I’ve transferred over all the content from the Geocities site to either this location or the child abuse site, I went ahead and deleted the Geocities site. It is no more, after 6 years of existence and many different permutations. It’s time to move on to…

    Gee I didn’t post anything yesterday. You’d think I was majorly busy or something wouldn’t you? I do have to come up with a way to recommend people stop doing something in Outlook. You see every week, I write up a “Tip of the Week” and send it out to all of our staff. Mostly…

    Here’s some even more bad news, from people who obviously are just clueless, yet somehow wound up in positions of power: Driver’s license as De Facto National ID?. Here’s a quote (and a fine example of just how clueless some people are): “These are state motor vehicle departments that will have these databases. This is…
