I mean, of course Apple is the problem, not dumb-ass spendy computer users. They had to know the thing was going to overheat constantly. Unless they conduct their testing in the same room that old Dr. Chew made eyes for replicants in. I can tell it's going to overheat from looking at the subway poster.

DockDoctor widget allows you to change the look of your dock at the push of a button. it only has two options but the 2D dock works visually for me anyway.

iCal is 1000000x better in leopard You think? I'm dying to go back. It's a crashy buggy mess for me. I usu. work in monthly view, and it's a pain to add new items -- you can type the name, but then have to pull up info and then edit just to change the time -- and it always crashes if the name's too long. Still, I've got about ten calendars syncing to WebDAV, so that probably doesn't help either.

As for the Dock, I usually pin my to the menubar, set it to its smallest size, hide it and forget about it.

re: iCal i find editing in a pull-up window much easier than editing in a sidebar (or is it called a drawer?)
as far as crashy and buggy goes, i had that experience in tiger because i was trying to sync to at least three different places. all of that crap went away when i turned syncing off.
― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 13 March 2008 18:46 (sixteen years ago) link
this might be also be a workflow thing. most of what i do with ical involves taking old academic calendars, importing them, and pushing/editing the pieces. i don't do a lot of adding brand-new items, which you're right, is noticeably slower with the new system.

ical works great for me esp. w/ the excellent mail support

Grr. I used to use my Nokia as a bluetooth modem, and everything worked all dandy. Then I tried to add another phone to use the same service, and since then, it's all been buggered. I've deleted the phone from bluetooth and readded it, deleted the connection in the Network prefs, and no dice. I get this in syslog:
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem Mar 13 19:21:50 Dave configd[14]: en0: DHCP duplicate configured service Mar 13 19:21:52 Dave pppd[83421]: MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] auth not performed. Mar 13 19:21:53 Dave pppd[83421]: Connection terminated. Mar 13 19:21:53 Dave configd[14]: en0: DHCP duplicate configured service
heyolp!

then i dropped the 28 gb backup file in the trash.
now i am trying sudo rm -rf to get rid of it.

aha! disabling "marker felt" font was the culprit re: mail notes not working
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 17 March 2008 03:35 (sixteen years ago) link
So are you going to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageously bad fonts just to use mail notes? Or is there another way?

there must be some lifehacker bullshit on how to make that less annoying
