A couple of years back, I posted this thread about an annoying problem in VMWare Fusion which occasionally stopped me from being able to run an image as in bridge mode.
Well, looks like I’ve finally sorted this one out. I don’t know if it’s the inclusion of new functionality in v2 or v3 of VMF but [...]

VMWare Fusion – Network Bridge error finally solved
Migrate iTunes to a new Mac
I couldn’t find anything, via Google nor the Apple support site, that explained in the simplest and quickest terms how to migrate a functioning iTunes library to a new Mac. I use a bunch of smart playlists to generate my own ‘radio station‘ playlist which relies on playcount, skip count, rating and other cool stuff. [...]
Cisco VPN Client on OSX
I’ve had a few problems with the Cisco VPN Client for Mac OS X (release 4.9.01 (100) ) recently.
I’d get intermittent “Error 51: Unable to contact the VPN subsystem” when opening the VPNClient appliaction.
Some times a reboot would fix it, sometimes it wouldn’t.
I can’t reliably reproduce it either, sometimes coming out of sleep breaks it, [...]
Has OS X 10.5.2 reset some security settings?
I’m pretty sure it has, I certainly haven’t turned this off.
Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!
The release notes for the update mentions “Improves stability and performance during log in.”.
Anyone else seen the same or worse?
Free Trac and SVN hosting
I’ve been getting really pissed off trying to install Trac to my Dreamhost shared server, to the extent that i’m contemplating moving hosts.
In the interim, DevJaVu have just started to offer free Personal accounts that include integrate Trac and SVN.
All you need to do is sign up using the referal code johnny5. I don’t [...]
VMWare Fusion and network bridging
** UPDATED MARCH 12 2010: I just posted my solution to this problem here **
I’ve had VMWare Fusion running an image of my work laptop, on my Macbook, for nearly three weeks now. I’ve had no problems at all, running over both NAT and via network bridge.
Until this week.
Now, when I try to use [...]
Quicksilver roadmap at the end
In an earlier post, I mentioned how i’d been an admirer of the Quicksilver application and its workflow. Having finally picked up a Mac for full time use (work & play), it was I think the 2nd application I installed. It’s definately a great productivity tool. I’m not keen on the [...]
Reasons to Jailbreak #1
My foray into the world of jailbroken iPhones was due to one very simple app – MobileScrobbler.
It simply hooks into the iPod functionalit and submits the Artist, Track and Album information to my Last.FM profile. Having been an avid, subscribing scrobbler for nigh on three years now, I can’t bear to listen to anything [...]
RadRails – Unable to detect ruby install on OS X Leopard
I installed the RadRails plugin for Eclipse and Aptana today.
On first start, it complains that it is “Unable to detect ruby install” on my Leopard macbook.
Now, I know ruby is installed and working so had to try and figure out the path to the ruby installation.
Took me a while to work it out, I thought [...]
Skitch
Taking screenshots on XP was always a bit of a pain in the ass. ALT+PrtSc, paste into MS Paint (I don’t get Photoshop at work and I never really got to grips with GiMP), crop, resize, save as jpg (unless XP had gone up the spout in which case it was a bmp), email [...]
