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…

    Personal Tech update

    Just an update on some things I’ve been doing. Angela already wrote about the Roomba, so I’ll leave that alone, other than to say, as a gadget type of guy, I’m fascinated by watching it work. (Of course, the whole point is that it works while you’re doing something else, so I need to break…

    One of my co-workers is cleaning out his office this week. He’s leaving at the end of this month, and he’s been here longer than I have, so he’s finding stuff that I’m only vaguely aware of. The biggest surprise out of the group though is an old PowerBook 5300CS. The good news is, it…

    I talked about running a firewall on Friday. Today, I find this article on ZDnet: Why you must install a firewall NOW Yes, once again, you heard it here first! Life of a one-man IT Department, beating major media sources on a regular basis, and by that, of course, I mean it happened at least…

  • A BlogDebate, eh?

    More from Scoble: Well, usually where I have lunch there isn’t an 802.11 connection around. If there were, I’d seriously consider blogging it pretty close to live. Wow, maybe in Silicon Valley it’s not considered rude, but here in the rest of the world (Where 95% of the people do not blog) pulling out your…

  • Firefox Hole

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the security hole in Firefox, and the “recommended fixes”. Here’s the thing though, turning off Javascript disables all those cool little Greasemonkey scripts, and turning off “Let website install software” just makes it more difficult for people to get extensions for Firefox. It’s those extensions and add-ons…

    From a Register article: “Symantec has turned off this auto-responder feature by default for the last two years but systems admins insist on turning it back on, according to Chris Miller, a Symantec mail security product manager.” Well I guess I can quit blaming Symantec for all those “virus bounce” messages and start blaming email…
