Mediatemple makes it all good
I joined up with Mediatemple's Gridserver product a couple of months ago because of the very high value proposition posed by the company. I can host all of my sites with Mediatemple and because it is on a cluster of servers, I should have higher uptime and very few problems. Well, the technology is theoretically better but is very new, so naturally, they are having teething problems. This site has had a lot of downtime recently and Mediatemple has done the right thing by me and probably most of their gridserver customers and given 2 months of service as a concession for the troubles.
Thanks Mediatemple. I was frustrated, but gave you the benefit of the doubt that these were early bugs. We're now back on track for me to recommend your service to others!

This is a great video that Aleks Zuzek originally showed to me.

The crazy chicken cometh and is minced
This is one of a series of Estonian commercials used in the closing credits of the new borat movie. They are fantastically bad, and I recommend you check them out on Youtube. The one above is my favorite. Absurd!
Milo is back!
The little monster was found Wednesday 22nd November after being gone for 3 nights. He was under my neighbors house meowing when I came by. Now I can have a stress free thanksgiving knowing he is safe
Use your Blackberry 8100 pearl to connect your Mac to the net over bluetooth
Wow, the title of this post is a mouthful! I found the instructions after some extensive searching at Fibble.org. There are also instructions for you PC Lovers out there.
Milo is missing!
My little cat milo decided to sneak out to party and hasnt come back. I noticed he was going mental the past few days and I have a feeling that there is a cat around that is in heat. He left last night somehow and I have left the garage door cracked open so he can squeeze back in, but he hasnt returned. Now he has been gone for almost 24 hrs. It will be below freezing tonight so I hope he is ok.
Milo, if you surf the internet, come home!
Garageband wont split tracks
I have been using Garageband to edit some audio conversations. Unfortunately, I ran into a prohibitive bug that means I can no longer use garageband. I have researched online and have not seen a solution to this problem. Other users of Garageband running intel Macs have noted this issue and I think it may be specific to intel mac users. In any case, I'll have to find another way to edit my audio. Take a look at what happens when I try to trim the fat from a conversation. Here is the before image:
then I press apple-T to split the track and:
Errr, Apple, please fix this. That is not how the application is supposed to behave!
There are some others who have had the same issues on the apple support board: 1, 2, 3
Move iTunes to an external drive on your Mac – intelligently
There are a few ways to move your iTunes collection to a different location. Here is an intelligent way that leverages the *nix underpinnings of Mac OS X using symbolic links.
- Close iTunes
- Locate your music collection in the Finder (it should be the folder "iTunes" under "Music" in your home folder
- Move it to the new location! Just drag and drop, we're going to fix it in a second
- Right click on iTunes in the new location and select "Make Alias"
- Move the alias to the location your old iTunes folder is. It is probably called "iTunes alias" or similar
- Drag your old iTunes library to the trash
- Rename "iTunes Alias" to "iTunes"
- Open up iTunes and check to see that your music is still there and working!
This gives you flexibility if you need to reorganize or free up space. By creating an alias (symbolic link), iTunes treats the music collection as if it was never moved!
DICE Ipod integration in my Honda Accord
Ever wanted to use your iPod in your car? I did. In fact, a lot of people do. Quite a few cars these days are coming out with factory installed iPod integration. Others have a line-in input built in.
Background
If you're not lucky enough to have one of these, there are a few more options. The one I used to use, and I think the majority of iPod in Car users use is the FM transmitter. After doing a lot of research a couple of years ago, I ended up picking the Monster iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter
