I got sick of having to try to copy and make major modifications for each environment that I was in. As a consultant I sometimes have to deal with ridiculous policy driven constraints as to what software I can or cannot use. Sometimes it’s simply ignorance (like when the CTO of a company said that I could only script in a “…standard shell like BASH…” nothing obscure like KSH) but what ever the case it’s a pain when you’ve grown accustom to something as personal as your shell settings. Now I have a solution.

15″ MacBook Pro battery is failing after just 9.5 months (damn you Apple)
Recently Apple’s been hyping their Laptops and the great battery life. Well today After 9.5 months the battery in my (new Aluminum Uni-Body) 15″ MacBook Pro is crashing. By crashing I mean that it’s only lasting for about 1/3 of the advertised 5 – 6 hours of life on a full charge.

Snow Leopard is pretty “cool” but still doesn’t have some things I’d like to see
I’ve been using Snow Leopard for over a week now. I’m quite pleased with the performance boost (it actually makes the first core2 based MacMinis usable) and don’t really mind the absence of feature creep/bloat. It looks like this was a targeted effort and Apple seems to have hit the mark quite aptly.
Unfortunately there are some things that still aren’t quite right for me with OS X that I’d hoped would have been addressed with the bring forth of this frosted feline. MuSmartlkjkjdkdjjIt
