http://aaronstaves.com Not quite extinct! Wed, 24 Dec 2008 02:21:13 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So in a previous post I mentioned my recent acquisition of a Nokia N78 phone.  Like I said, I wanted something not super expensive; yet something I could play around with.  The N78 just happened to be the right fit.  At any rate I don't think I have the patience ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/12/23/nokia-ovi-and-my-phone/ It's done!  I now finally have ubuntu on my  MacBook Pro(4,1)!  The initial partitioning of my drives (in order to keep my bootcamp'd windows and os x) was made out to be a lot harder than it actually was.  I wasn't quite sure what to do due to the fact ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/11/06/macbuntu/ If you don't know, Ubuntu 8.10 dropped today. As promised I will be attempting to install it this evening. I say "attempting" because you never know what might go wrong. Anyways, I came across an awesome program called rEFI that enables you to actually control and partition ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/10/30/refitting-the-mac/ If you can't tell... I'm really excited about throwing ubuntu on here, and my Mac must be too... since it keeps hinting that it wants to be fixed (image below). I even plan on ordering some [3D] stickers and a physical copy of the OS! http://aaronstaves.com/2008/10/27/3-more-days/ So this morning I woke up and decided to check my email. Oh look, there's a few messages I would like to move to another folder! Apparently Mac Mail decided to make this difficult for me, oh well at least it just works. Note: Not only is the drop ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/10/21/more-mac-woes/ I know I've talked a lot of talk to those who are constantly around myself and my Mac, so I'm finally going to do something about it.  In 15 days I'm vowing to take the pluge and attempt to toss ubuntu on my bootcamp partition.  Lets hope it works http://aaronstaves.com/2008/10/15/taking-the-plunge/ So as some people may know, I used to own a Motorola e815 as my cell phone. Easily the best phone I've ever had - not because of the features, but because of how much of how hackable the phone was. Basically any services that Verizon disabled, you ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/10/02/new-diggs-and-a-new-phone/ So in my previous post I've outlined some of the better features that go along with converting over to OS X; specifically on a MacBook Pro.  As opposed to making one giant post I've decided to split it up into 3 posts, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Whether ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/08/25/macbook-country-part-2/ Let me preface this by saying that this post is about 1.5-3 months old.  I figured I should finally get this draft out there (by splitting this topic up into 3 chunks) so I am able to get on with the "Bad" and the "Ugly" sections.  Without further ado!  The ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/08/01/macbook-country-part-1/ So since one of my co-workers called me out, I'll be answering a few questions about my history and experiences in programming.  I'd appreciate it if my call outs do the same! How old were you when you started programming? Obviously way back when I was wrigint .bat scripts for MS-DOS when ... http://aaronstaves.com/2008/06/21/software-development-meme/
