February 10th, 2005 · 1 Comment

After updating to 10.3.8 Apple managed to lower the temperature that the fans turn on and off. So now when doing medium light work the fan goes on. And it drives me crazy. My guess is that they only changed the values one or two Fahrenheit, but it’s just at the point where my [...]

Running powerbook fan with Update 10.3.8

February 10th, 2005 · 1 Comment

I just upgraded to 10.3.8 and Apple has managed to fuck up it up for the second time. On my Powerbook G4 867 12″ the fan now runs constantly. This is the second time a software update has done this. But this time it’s worse, now it’s on constantly, not just when the computer is [...]

Funny review

February 4th, 2005 · 2 Comments

I talked earlier about a product shoot that I was doing. The product, called GarlicCard is now shipping so I can show the pictures.

Technophobia

February 2nd, 2005 · 2 Comments
