Actually – considering all the hype about the melt-the-glaciers heat, it’s not that bad. It only gets bad when I try and do a zillion things at the same time.

Jessica – it’s one that I found: black-letterhead. Don’t remember from where. I did make some small changes, but it’s almost all that style.

I’m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site. Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website? Looks pretty cool for me :)

Impressive. I’m not sure the extensive roll of systems you’ve used labels you as the huge nerd you are as much as your repeated assertions throughout that you still want to own some of these relics.

It would be interesting, though, to be able to go back, platform by platform, and do benchmarks of fmd5 on each one. r

Congratulations, Citizen! Who was our 22nd president? And no, you can’t look it up.

Yeah… the end of that previous comment, which didn’t quite make it, should have indicated that:

mdutil -E /Volume/name

… will blow away all Spotlight metadata for the volume named name… it gets rebuilt automatically later.

Recently went through a similar journey that wound up at a slightly different endpoint. Spotlight appeared to questionably meta-data’d across the board.

Desktop Manager is now being developed as free software by the Virtue Project. Inexplicably, I couldn’t find a reference to this change on Wareham’s page, and found out through some other source (namely massive Google searches, begging the Google Hive Mind to reveal a version of RD that was more stable/usable than “developer 0.6”).

Currently running Virtue’s 0.52-something-something-build-something. So far: a) cleaner b) where did the pager go? c) only time will tell if it’s up to the standard that 0.53 was.

Still has crazy desktop transitions… which I still have turned off… because they still take forever (inexplicably) to render on my G5 DP.
