WordPress and Safari have issues. Well more accurately, TinyMCE and Safari have issues.
TinyMCE is the visual editor that WordPress uses and it can’t work with Safari. The most obvious way you see this is WordPress not keeping the format of your posts once you have published them, especially the paragraph breaks.
What’s the answer? Use Firefox or Opera. It’s a crap answer. Safari 3 was getting real nice. Stable and quick.
I am having some Dock strangeness. I have an external screen on my desk which I use with my macbook. If my mac wakes up and it is no-longer plugged into the screen, or finds that it now is plugged into an external monitor where it wasn’t before my Dock will occasionally disappear.
Usually it is only a redraw problem, and resizing my Dock or dragging a windows across the Dock forcing it to redraw fixes the problem. Unfortunately this week I find that the Dock simply isn’t there, it is not hidden and it is not accessable.
Even after a restart the only way to see my Dock was to do a “killall Dock” from the terminal, or restart it using Tinker Tool.
That’s right. I lasted a whole 2 days before I thought the disk space was of far more value to OSX than to running Windows.
The install was easy enough, and the drivers being included on the leopard disk means everything runs smoothly. I think the best hardware for running windows on is a mac.
Of course then there were gigabytes of updates to download, and I needed a virus scanner (AVG is acceptable and free). Then IE7 and firefox to download, I think it took me half a day to get setup. It took me another half a day to realise what a bad choice I had made.
My macbook running OSX is fast and stable. I rarely have a crash, startup is quick, and though not lightning, most applications start quickly and the computer always seems responsive. Now in XP, I didn’t have a Vista disk handy, my computer became a steaming pile of poo to use.
My fresh install was slow and unreliable and plain and simple frustrating. So I spent a day getting what I need from the playstation store and then I reclaimed my disk space.
If you really think Windows compares you haven’t given Mac a fair go, or simply have no taste.
For 6 months I have managed to live completely windows free (well except for my dopod – no iphone in Oz yet). Missing sync worked on the mac, office was there for compatibility, I was in a Beautiful windowless world.
I wanted to use the Playstation Store today, and you need to install a download manager to get the games on to the PSP. And of course it runs on Windows only. I can’t find a way around it. Codeweavers may work, I haven’t tried.
After 6 months I have given 5gb of disk to Bootcamp and windows. I have given up my ideals for Crash Team Racing. I am a cheap and dirty tramp.
I have been playing a PSP. I wanted a DS, but the PSP was a gift and it has a pretty freaking sweet screen.
It’s an old game now, but I also scored a copy of Loco Roco. Man it is cool. Why are the Japanese so much cooler than us? That is a rhetorical question, as most of the entire universe is cooler than me.
