My iMac

Jack — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:51:28 +0000

My iMac, I hate it… Well not really, I just can’t stand using Mac OS X anymore, the mouse is really slow which pisses me the hell off and there’s no good games for Mac.

I really can’t wait until Windows 7 is released, I have a good feeling about it, not like Vista, that thing was horrible, and sometimes it can still be annoying.

Windows…. 7

Jack — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:07:52 +0000

So, I heard Windows 7 was leaked and available for download via BitTorrent, now as a long time Windows user that has switched to Mac OS, I thought I’d give it a try.

So off I went to my favorite BitTorrent website, searched for Windows 7, downloaded it, did all the DVD things, and installed it on my old laptop, I was surprised that it installed faster than Mac OS, or at least within the same time.

Anyway, So I started to play with it, naturally, and fell in love with it, then I set out to enable the SuperBar people say is hidden in it, I enabled that and just can’t wait till Windows 7 is released.

As soon as Windows 7 is released, I’m buying a new beast machine and getting Windows 7, then making that my main computer, Because after using Mac OS X for a while – theres just some annoying things with it, and the mouse pointer seems really sluggish compared to Windows.

MacBook

I’ve been thinking of getting a MacBook or MacBook Pro for the past few months,
and i’ve finally decided I’ll be getting a MacBook.

I have to say I’m a little lucky I have to save a bit to get one, I say this because of the new MacBook 2.4GHz models.

Time Machine

Yesterday I went out and bought an external hard drive to use with Time Machine, and to be honest Time Machine is really great.

It keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, a daily backup for the past month and weekly backups until the backup hard drive is full.

Ex-Gamer

Look’s like I’m an Ex-Gamer, I say that because since I got my Mac, I haven’t played many games, in fact the only game I played was World of Warcraft but I removed it as its kind of boring.

I setup my old PC and played Call of Duty 4 for a bit but thats quite boring as well,

I guess the only time I will be playing games again is when Half-Life 2 Episode 3 comes out, and that will probably be the only game i play until it complete it, after that I will probably stop playing games again…

Leopard + SVN + Terminal

Jack — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:27:00 +0000

I don’t know what made me type “svn help” into Terminal but it actually worked, and I don’t remember installing Subversion on Leopard, so I did a little searching and found out that Leopard comes with Subversion installed, thats actually pretty sweet.

On my Windows machine, I used Subversion a lot with my projects, but I used a GUI client called TortoiseSVN, but on Mac I haven’t been able to find a feature-rich GUI client.

so I’ve been using the Command line for Subversion through the Mac OS Terminal, and I have to say its not as hard as I first thought, It’s actually pretty easy.

Firefox sucks

Jack — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:00:00 +0000

Yes, you read the title right, I said Firefox sucks, Let me give you a minute to cool off after reading that.

Since I moved to Mac OS X I’ve been using Safari and I have to admit its the most beautiful thing I have ever used, besides Mac OS X itself.

Anyway, After using Safari for quite some time now, I decided to see how Firefox is on OSX, and I’m not too impressed, the interface looks like shit and I just cant live without the Safari autocomplete address feature..

So I don’t see myself using Firefox for a while…

iGot iMac

I posted this on my website a while ago and forgot to post it here too, But I got my iMac christmas eve and haven’t stopped using it since.

I have to say, I have no idea how I put up with Windows for so long, I absolutely love Mac, I recommend switching ASAP.

World of Warcraft PvP

Jack — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:55:00 +0000

I’ve been on WoW all day in PvP Battlegrounds, So far I’ve gotten 3000 honor in a few hours, its totally awesome…

AMD now worth less than it paid for ATi

Jack — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:12:00 +0000

“AMD reached its lowest share price for more than four years last week and, as a result, its market value dropped to around US$5 billion – that’s $400 million less than it paid for ATI in July 2006.”

Thats part of an article on Neowin.net, I’ve been saying it for years – AMD SUCKS, and hopefully they won’t be around much longer
