Blogger vs pLog
School still trying to figure out which blog is best to be deployed for use by staff, so I did a simple comparison.
el Camino
The web browser I mean. Looks like they have a spiffy looking new website to go along with a long-awaited new-release of the web browser. Like Mozilla Firefox, it is based on the latest Gecko rendering engine, but it sure feels more Mac-like. I also like the bookmark management system quite a bit better than Firefox’s. It remains to be seen if Camino will replace Apple’s Safari as my Mac web browser of choice however. I’ll post an update after…
The mother of all CPU charts
It sure feels nostalgic to see Tom’s Hardware list every single known computer processor released from 1995 to 2005 on this article and this one. Resurfaces memories of the very first PC I’d ever built way back at the end of 1995 – an Intel Pentium 100MHz based machine. And now, almost 10 years later (even if I’ve had it for almost 2 years now), my PC has an (effectively) 2500MHz processor! That’s like 25 times faster, and my PC…
OpenOffice 2.0 beta
While reading this “review” of SUSE Linux 9.3 (actually looks like more of an ad, which probably shouldn’t surprise since it is hosted on Novell’s website), I came across this screenshot that did give me pause (that’s Shakespearean for you!)

According to the website, version 2.0 is still in its final stages of beta testing, but…
Blogger to WordPress
It’s been some 3 months now since I moved from my Blogger blog to this WordPress one.. gosh, time sure passes really quickly! Before I know it, it’ll already be the Novemember holidays again! Haha.. Anyhow, one of things I never got around to doing was to document why exactly I went to WordPress, and (probably) more importantly how exactly I went about doing it. And I never could seem to get around to doing it. 🙁 Luckily, this blogger…
guide to using your Mac in school
Because fellow Mac using teachers at the MUGS forums have requested for it, I thought I’d put up this simple guide on getting your OS X Mac working with your school network. Yes, internet access is automatic via an access point in the staff room (well at least in mine anyhow), so I shan’t cover that, but using the networked printers and folders requires a little sleuthing and configuration. So here goes! Go into Applications –>Utilities–>Directory Access. Highlight SMB and…
