Apparently I’m doing something right. The spammers are starting to try posting on my blog again. WooP!

If I’m updating too slowly make sure you check out my Google Reader and Digg shares listed across the top of the site. I’m also posting smaller more pointless things on Pownce. If you don’t have a Pownce account send me an email and I’ll send you an invite.

Ahahahah

Nice… Novell owns unix. SCO owns nothing. Ahahah

Fake Steve sums things up here nicely.

Now… we need to get Novell the hell away from Microsoft.

I read about FIOS (Fiber optic internet) actually being rolled out in certain areas by Verizon. I have to admit I actually called. Fortunately/unfortunately Verizon doesn’t serve the area I’m moving to.

I’ve been using MacFusion for a few months now since most of the machines in the cloud of the computer world are linux boxes. Recently I finally got around to changing a password on one of the systems and MacFusion started refusing to mount it (stop laughing).

In MacFusion there’s no place to set the password for the system you’re connecting to. If you’re running into this problem bring up the “Keychain Access” application and find the address of the target system under Passwords -> Application and change it there. That should get you back on track.

I was milling around the local Apple Store the week before last and started scrolling through the photo album. It was obviously loaded with photos because everyone is standing around playing with the phone. Here’s one I found of two freaky yutes:

While I was off on the coast of Oregon trying to fend off the humming bird sized mosquitoes I thought it might be fun to make some sort of game or contest out of this. So here’s an idea…

Wander on down to the Apple store and be a terrible voyeur. Find the freakiest photo and use the iPhone to email the photo to me at with the subject “iPhone photo game” and I’ll start posting them here.

Maybe I’ll digg around while I’m packing the house up this week and find something of mediocre value and award it for the strangest. Get going!

Be back in a week.

My son is perched on my shoulders and I’m typing one handed with my thumb in landscape mode.
Moving pretty fast considering.

Can’t wait to get one!

Okay… I’ve got 6 more invites to pownce if anyone is interested.

Email me and I’ll send you one.

I have to admit I don’t follow the stock market all that much. But I’ve been watching the fad of jumping all over Apple stock after hearing the guys on Mac Break Weekly speculating on where it was headed.

Here’s what I’ve seen:

The iPhone comes out: The stock crosses 130 and heads to 144

AT&T says they only activated ~146k iPhones the first weekend*: The stock falls to 134

Apple releases the Q3 earnings report that they’ve profited 818 Million: Stock soars to 150+ in after hours trading

I think the stock market flinching like that as a whole is funny. But then again.. since I don’t follow it normally perhaps this is status quo.

* Given that it took 36+ hours for AT&T to activate some iPhones their numbers most likely don’t accurately reflect sales figures for the weekend. In my opinion at least.

Update: Apparently during the Apple Earnings Conference call Apple quoted the sales figure at 270k. (See the note at 5:13pm)
