I receive a call on my cellphone. It is my mother. I've got these tickets in the mail today, to this thing. Do you want to go to some TV preview this evening, you get to see some TV and might win some prizes. So I say yes, dad agreed. We were to be there at 1900, at a hotel on the other side of town. Once we arrived we took a http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/television-preview-vicks-hand.htmlMhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/22009487/posts/summary/115626403270965012Tue, 22 Aug 2006 16:23:00 +00002006-08-22T16:28:16.386ZSome time ago one of my 12 readers sent me a link to a bloggers survey. I don't think of myself as having any kind of readership - however I thought I'd contribute. Today I get home and find this in my pile of post... thanks very much. Very fetching, I think.

Whilst I am somewhat anal in my organisational practices at work. The color of the paper clips match the minutes I'm organising. I have various color Post-It index tabs that help schedule todo item, a very clean inbox, dangerously clean (I utilise mail flags and folders, smart folders, rules and I have "Mail Act-On" installed for quick triage of data.)

I'm not entirely sure what the person meant by "getting dirty for the first time". Maybe she's taken up pig farming and needs some help building a pen. She should consider searching for Farm Dating on google I imagine. The term, get stuffed sprang to mind, but I wonder if she'd already thought of that.http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/im-cutie-apparently.htmlMhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/22009487/posts/summary/115611182531246309Sun, 20 Aug 2006 22:07:00 +00002006-08-20T22:10:25.423ZWell I've not recovered my playlists etc. I have found this script though courtesy of that nice chap Doug Adams... http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/itunes-armed-rampage-update.htmlMhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/22009487/posts/summary/115610734998639145Sun, 20 Aug 2006 20:22:00 +00002006-08-20T21:17:34.513ZIt is oft said that the C programming language, and C++, allows you to shoot youself in the foot, in comparison to Java that is tighly type cast. I found this - notice the Java entry versus the C entry. Anyway my reason for this meander down programming 101 lane is thus: this evening I was attempting to consolidate my iTunes library. I have some 7000 tracks on my mini, several hundred of them http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/itunes-shoots-you-in-foot.htmlMhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/22009487/posts/summary/115610012281343950Sun, 20 Aug 2006 18:48:00 +00002006-08-20T18:55:22.843Z"NetInfo functionality has been removed from Mac OS X entirely." from here This concerns me, as someone who has recently spent time dispelling the myth that macs crash a network. I attached a dozen macs to our corporate network with no ill effects, more so I made them authenticate against our active directory using NetInfo manager. Where am I to find these settings in the future ?

It picks out my new podcasts that I havn't finished listening to yet. The only flaw that existed was that not all Podcasts can have a play count. "What" I hear you cry "How can than be ?" Indeed, despite having the catagory podcast and being downloaded from iTunes, you can't play all the files. The RSS format allows for any file to be insertedhttp://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/itune-smart-playlist-and-podcasts.htmlMhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/22009487/posts/summary/115559856169819749Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:32:00 +00002006-08-14T23:38:48.540ZI just went to sign in and found that Firefox had helpfully entered my gmail account information on my blogger sign in page. After a quick double take and a 180 when I saw that I had no blog, well that account doesn't. I went to re-authenticate and found this...

I decided to alter my mail.app icon, I'd had some British Stamps kicking around for a while, so I decided to use them. Doesn't she look twee HRH Queen Elizabeth bouncing around in my dock... There are apparently two methods. 1) Simply open the info pane on the application you want to change the icon.

DJ Kid you know the type, big headphones, loud music, ill fitting clothes and carries a record bag around with his books and stuff in. He would buy new bits of wire and foam for his head gear, rather than just buying a new pair of headphones. He was the kind of guy that would lecture you on the evils of mp3 compression http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2006/08/new-sennheiser-headphones.htmlM
