I’ve had some bizarre problems with my DNS today. I checked /etc/resolv.conf but everything looked ok. Checked the settings dialog for my network and at first glance, that one seemed ok as well.
But normally there should be a dimmed version of the DHCP assigned values there.
Just select the empty one and press the minus sign. Sneaky little bug there!
Save your settings and you should be good to go.
There?s a problem with getting Perian to work in Snow Leopard. But there?s a quick fix outlined here, but If the PreferencePane is installed to only the current user, you need to paste the following into the terminal:
I?ve installed MAMP on my Mac to do some changes to my blog. I tried to set the WordPress wp-config.php file to connect to localhost:8889, but got an error that It could not connect to the database. After replacing localhost:8889 to 127.0.0.1:8889 it works. My quick guess is that permissions for the root user is set to allow connections 127.0.0.1, but not localhost. Anyway, it works now.

Nobody talks about the fact that all the companies that? will now start making programs for the? iPhone? will first? learn how easy it is to program with Cocoa. Then suddenly you have a lot of new programmers that know how to program for the Mac as well. Yes, it’s that similar. What would stop them, now that they have inhouse knowledge to make a Macintosh version of the software? Nothing…

There must be better alternatives for Apple to use as a scripting language. I agree with this article, but Python or Ruby would be a better alternative I think.
I have had this annoying problem with my Macbook Pro. Sometimes when waking the machine from sleep, the machine can not connect to the selected Airport network and then hangs with spinning pizza of death.

Here’s a nice bug for ya. One of the users at work has a Word document, and when she uses “Save As…” to save the file to another location everything looks normal. But Word never saves the file! It’s non existant! This is only if the setting for compatibility with Office 2004 is set.
This isn’t the first time something like this happened, you also have the infamous “Let’s delete the Powerpoint file before saving and then crasch“-bug where users where left without a document after saving.
