I found an awesome How-To for printing to a Vista (or XP) machine from my Mac (running Leopard). I’ve always wondered why I couldn’t get my printer on my XP machine at home to print from my Mac. After following these directions, it worked perfectly! http://forums.mactalk.com.au/20/64337-how-print-leopard-vista-printer.html

Using a Network Share for Apple Time Machine
I found these useful articles about using a network share with Apple Time Machine (Apples built-in backup feature). http://rajeev.name/blog/2007/11/03/time-machine-with-smb-and-nfs-shares/ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5918065� There appears to be some issues with using a network share once it runs out of space, as the backups are not pruned correctly from what I can tell from the posts. There is a […]
Celerra Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) for VMware
I have used the Lefthand Networks Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) in the past (which can be found here: http://www.lefthandnetworks.com/vsa.aspx) which presents an iSCSI target off of local disk through an appliance inside a VM.

But usually a quick Google search will find the answer to whatever question arises. One of […]

I’m a Mac… and I’m a PC
I found this post over at Market Circle’s Blog, who are the creators of my current favorite Mac program called Billings 3. It is an awesome time billing and invoicing program for the Mac, and at a great price. I use it for sending invoices for any consulting that I do. Here’s a snippet from […]
Replacing Dependency on WinXP with Mac Software!
The more and more I use my new Mac, the more software I seem to find that replaces the software that I was using on WinXP that I thought I could never live without. Here’s a few of them: – 1Password = I was an avid user of Roboform to help autofill my web passwords and web […]
