Posting this just in case anyone needs it. I’ve been getting the
following strange message lately in logs and consoles under OS X:
## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias of type (regR/carP/x!bt)
As it turns out, I had just installed Toast. A quick Google search
leads me to blame Toast and remove [...]
How unobservant am I? It took
an article from The Register
to make me realize that this new Apple music store does indeed
use DRM to lock up purchased music. The files aren’t mine. (Though, whoopie, I’m
allowed to use them on up to 3 computers.)
Crap. No thanks. I guess
that 10% of [...]
Umm… what is iSync doing? I didn’t know that it had anything to do
with my bookmarks. Lately I’ve been using bookmarks more since I started
using BookmarkBlogger. Nearly every time I try dragging a bookmark into a
toolbar folder, though, I’m rebuffed by this dialog. What gives? The bookmarks
don’t show up [...]
Okay, so in between all the other hecticity currently ongoing in my life,
I managed to check out Apple’s new music service. Although I’m not interested

are mine and [...]

using it to supplant my usage of scp. And it works. Brilliantly. And until
recently, I hadn’t stopped to realize: Hey, you know, [...]

Was thinking about learning new tech, and well, I haven’t gotten much
farther into .NET
as I’d wanted to,
given moving and a sudden appearance of work. Instead, I’ve had
a project hurled at me that combines Flash MX and XML, something I’ve
just barely touched before.
Wow, is this stuff fun. And I write that without a trace [...]
Mark Pilgrim asks: What’s your Winer number?
I duck & cover under our new futon. The one that I broke already, but it’s better than nothing.
Wow. Missed this from Mark over
the weekend, and then further missed Sam’s link to it
and the subsequent whirling mass of shitstorm that rolled past in its wake. Well, at least everyone
just ends up being an asshole in the end, and no nazis or ethnicities
or monsters were invoked in the process. [...]
