10.5 redux

11 December, 2007 (09:41) | computers | No comments

Whilst I’m re-installing all of my apps and documents and shit, I’m beginning to pick up some of the smaller enhancements and improvements of Leopard…
Although I am aware of 10.5’s glaring bugs, omissions and other misfortunate hickups - it’s been documented enough and it kept me from installing it from day one - I must […]

10.5

10 December, 2007 (23:47) | computers | 1 comment

Succesfully installed Mac OS 10.5, a.k.a. Tiger Leopard.
Man, that thing is sweet.
It’s like I have a new computer now.
A couple of days ago, I also splashed out on a new Logitech MX-620 Cordless Laser Mouse.
Man, that thing is sweet.
By far the best mouse I’ve ever used.
 
Edit: Thanks for the correction, Lieve!

Blofeld #2

And then there’s this Blofeld.
For such a small machine, it sounds amazing though.
And it’s not even that expensive, so I put it on my X-Mas wishlist, in case any of you nice people wants to make friends with me.

“Licht”

Well, fuck that.
Another hero gone.
Fond memories about a trip to Berlin with my best friend and another fella to Berlin, late seventies, early eighties perhaps… We just wanted to buy avant-garde records which weren’t available in Belgium at that time.
At least one Stockhausen record was one of the goals. And we succeeded. Gloriously.
Damn. Sad to see […]

Are we not Devo ?

A really nice 8-pager on Mark Mothersbaugh[Devo], Mutato, Raymond Scott’s Electronium and other related tidbits in LA Weekly. A must-read (*). 
(*) Well, if you like that kind of things. If not, may I suggest reading up on parthenogenesis instead ?

Orrery

Like any other ordinary guy in the universe, I love a nice orrery now and then. 
In fact, I designed an orrery myself, a month or so ago. Kinda… Here. 
Of course, the oobject site itself is worth some spontaneous orgasms, on any given day.
