Upgrade Details

Rumor: Power Mac G5, iMac G5, eMac
Upgrade Details 04/14/2005 10:03 AM

ThinkSecret is reporting the supposed details of Apple's Power Mac, iMac, and eMac upgrades, presumed to be officially unveiled by the company at the upcoming NAB conference. There's nothing terribly mind-blowing, mostly because there is still no confirmation as to whether the top-end Power Mac G5s (with speeds up to 2.7GHz) will have a dual-core version of the 970 processor or not.

It also appears that rumors of a Blu-ray compatible SuperDrive were pie-in-the-sky, although the rumors say dual-layer DVD+R support is likely. Everything else sounds extremely reasonable, with modest performance bumps across the line.

System Tray Whack-a-Mole

System Tray Whack-a-Mole 01/27/2004 06:22 PM

One of my biggest pet peeves is Windows software that doesn't run need to run all the time, but still feels the need to put some crappy icon in the system tray. Honestly, folks, there's not much legitimate reason for Real Player and Quicktime to have components that start up every time I run my computer. To me, adding an unnecessary icon to my system tray is only slightly more polite than taking a dump on my front porch.

Mike Lin has written two great apps to help with this. One's called Startup Control Panel, which provides a quick interface to view (and optionally remove) all of the things that start up when you log in. There are a half dozen places in the registry that do this, so it's great to have them all together like this. I was amazed to find programs in there for about 8 shareware programs that I tried once and never used again.

Once you're clean, you can stay that way with Startup Monitor, a very tiny app that runs in the background and lets you know when a program is trying to put more crap in your startup, and gives you the option of preventing it.

These apps probably aren't for novice users, as some of these programs may not run well without their startup components, but geeks will appreciate the convenience.

Check out some of the other programs on Mike Lin's site while you're there. Mike is apparently an evil genius, and has concocted quite a few small, light apps that address some of Windows' niggling little annoyances.

grub "stage2 loading..." 12/19/2004 03:43 PM
If you use really old hardware with an old bios with early generation x86 serial console redirection, it might be sufficiently broken to not allow grub to take over the serial console with linux starts booting. The result? grub hangs with the "stage2 loading" message ... Solution: Disable the bios console redirection; it probably sucks anyway. The only case I can think of where you would want it would be if you net boot with PXE and need to configure...

IE6 SP1 Small Image Loading Bug

IE6 SP1 Small Image Loading Bug 01/07/2004 04:37 PM

Ever since I installed IE6 SP1, I started seeing web pages with missing images.  Usually missing images were small in size but used multiple times in a page like the XML icon you see in my blogroll.  Well, I am seeing it now somewhat consistently after changing blog software.  I used to see it with permalink icon and day icon which is why I removed them yesterday.  Looks like I'll have to replace the XML icon with text.  Urgh.

Update:

I replaced the XML feed icon with CSS-based text anchor as Richard Soderberg suggested.  I did reduced the font size to 6px and adjusted the border colors because larger version was causing too much distraction.  It's still distracting but this will do until I replace the blogroll with something that takes up less space.  Thanks Richard.
