Update 2007-009 kills my MacBook

By Admin

Today I got a notification from the Apple update tool that a new update is available. I hit ok, to install the Update 2007-009. After rebooting my system OS X presents a black screen. I like the console on Linux but I’m totally stranded at the moment. I used dmesg to get closer which module or application is responsible for the behavior but didn’t really find anything for the moment. But probable VMware Fusion could be the reason. After trying to restart from the installation DVD it doesn’t even recognizeContinue readingUpdate 2007-009 kills my MacBook

Enhance your OS X address book

By Admin

I’m really impressed. After nearly one year in using my Macbook I could learn about hidden features of Apple software each day. All of them will give your live more power and also simplifies your work-flow. Today I will tell you some nice features of the OS X address book. The trigger to have a deeper look at possible address book features was an email I received on Monday. Someone answered the message I sent him a while back and annotates that I used the wrong address. So my firstContinue readingEnhance your OS X address book

Keychain forgets saved passwords … or not?

By Admin

Yesterday I was really shocked. After reactivating my MacBook from stand-by mode I wanted to burn a DVD with exported pictures. I copied all files into the burning folder and started the process. From now on the whole system was curiously pretty slow. I never had this before. No idea if the burning process was responsible for that. But anyway, let us talk about the real problem… I opened Adium to check if a friend is online. But instead of getting my contact list a password dialog was shown. Damn,Continue readingKeychain forgets saved passwords … or not?

No shortcut to open contextual menus on OS X?

By Admin

I’m really surprised! After years of experience with different Windows and Linux versions it’s getting normal for me to open contextual menus with Shift+F10 or the special context key if a mouse is not available. But yesterday while doing some work on bug 403602 I noticed that there is nothing for OS X? What about handicapped people who aren’t able to use a mouse or even use a screen reader? How do they access the context menu? I asked several people who are still working on OS X for aContinue readingNo shortcut to open contextual menus on OS X?

Upgrade to WordPress 2.3

By Admin

Tuesday this week the brand-new WordPress 2.3 aka “Dexter” was released. There are some nice new features and changes which will enhance your weblog. I upgraded today to this version and was directly confronted with following error message: WordPress database error: [Table ‘%table%.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist] SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’) ORDER BY t.term_id ASC I searched the web to find a solution to my problem because I didn’t understand why that could happen while upgradingContinue readingUpgrade to WordPress 2.3

Newsgroup for German localization

By Admin

Sorry that I’m a bit behind with that information but my vacation conflicts with my current list of todo items. Probably Robert or Axel already told about it that the German localization community has it’s own newsgroup and mailing list for product localization now. The idea to improve the German localization started a long time ago (as far as I remember it was at FOSDEM 2006) while having a talk with Abdulkadir who is responsible for the Firefox translation. We had seen that our community is totally scattered and thatContinue readingNewsgroup for German localization

Videotutorial für Lightroom

By Admin

Für die ersten Schritte in Lightroom stellte Galileo Design ein kostenloses Videotutorial online zur Verfügung. Mit 2:42h Spielzeit beleuchtet es alle wichtigen Elemente, um mit Lightroom effizient zu arbeiten und auch entsprechende Ergebnisse zu erhalten. Während im Shop von Adobe der Preis von Lightroom schon auf 296 EUR gesetzt wurde, ist das Software-Paket für Windows und Mac OS X bei Amazon noch für 186 EUR zu bekommen. Keine Ahnung, wann auch hier eine Preisanhebung stattfindet. Wer schnell ist, erhält es noch zum Einführungspreis.
