If you ever need to work with more then a couple of dozen fonts, a font management program is required. There are a few major ones, I prefer Font Explorer X, which used to be free but is now 80 bucks:

Suitcase and Font Agent Pro and others do the same, people have their preferences. Font Explorer has a few issues as a relatively young program, but it's more robust and powerful while being easier to use then the other two, I think.

i guess the picture isn't really clear -- the status bar at the top of the screen that has time/battery/life etc etc just goes black so i can't really see anything unless i click on it, then it turns blue

nice timing on the thread revive, i just paid $200 for a new 3gs because replacing a shattered screen would have cost the same. wtf

Steve Jobs Stopped at Japan Airport Over Ninja Stars, SPA! Magazine Says
“Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction,” said Steve Dowling, a spokesman for the company. “Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon.”Takeshi Uno, a spokesman at Kansai airport, said a passenger using a private jet was stopped at the end of July for carrying “shuriken,” the Japanese word for Ninja throwing stars and other handheld blades. The passenger, whom Uno declined to identify because of the airport’s privacy policy, threw away the blades, he said. The airport doesn’t have separate boarding arrangements for private-jet users, Uno said.

what is the deal w/ itunes 10? its a downgrade in every possible way. dull colors, tacky font, and my album art size has been significantly reduced. "Large" artwork is literally the size of a quarter! im such a tool for not using foobar/winamp tho, i just can't really kick not using itunes, slow as it is.

i think the grand idea is that the desktop is a "server" or a place for storing digital stuff, while your iphone/ipad is the consuming medium. so fancying up the UI isn't necessary if it's not integral to the listening/watching experience.
i.e., YOU SHOULD HAS IPAD
― shaane, Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:29 (thirteen years ago) link
those bastards!
but then again, not that i've seen it, but i assume ipad music player is just a cover art flow? i find those incredible obnoxious. its only cool if you're trying to impress somebody with the immensity of your music collection, otherwise it's far too much swiping movements for what's needed.

Listening to John Gruber's podcast. It starts with a I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE USE ANONYMOUS INTERNET HANDLES THAT ARE NOT THEIR REAL NAMES AS THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND ARE COMPLICATED rant and moves on to a THIS IS WHY THE COMPLICATED AND UGLY TWITTER WEBSITE IS DESIGNED BY BABOONS bit and then I realise only five minutes of the hour and a half show have passed so I delete the download and wonder what the fuck I was thinking in trying to listen to Gruber's podcast.

any uk apple dudes here had to replace a 60w macbook charger before? i broke the missus' and i can't believe it's gonna cost me a pink note to replace it :(
there's all sorts of dodgy looking ones for £20-£30 on ebay and amazon but i don't really want to set her on fire or anything tbh - any other ways round it?
― r|t|c, Thursday, 23 September 2010 22:01 (thirteen years ago) link
to get an official one? not that i was able to find. you can sometimes save a few quid on ebay compared to the apple store, but they don't really depreciate.

so, did anybody else get the nvidia recall notice for their "santa rosa" MBP?
i have been getting scrambled video and really bad screen tearing on "top sites" ever since safari 5.0 went to 5.0.1, and since going to 5.0.2 i get the same thing whenever i have flash running in multiple tabs (say if i have youtube video in two different tabs). i figured this was software-side but since getting the notice i've been thinking otherwise.
i just wonder whether it is worth the trouble if it's not really affecting core system performance.

Never mind - mine is an ATI card that does the same thing. Was told I needed a new board because my graphics chip is dying. No point in spending multiple hundreds to fix it at this point.
