I was just looking through the analytics and stats for my blog, and realized that almost 1 year later, my Geektool post is generating the most traffic to my site. Given that I recently got a new computer and began using some new geeklets, I figured an update was in order. I’ll try my best [...]
While I was home over Thanksgiving break, I got an early graduation gift from my parents – a new 2.5 GHz i7 MacBook Pro. In the process of transferring all of my programs and documents to the new computer, I decided to look into some new programs to install, specifically a better way to keep [...]
One of my favorite applications for OS X is GeekTool – a simple application that lets you embed files, images, and basic scripts on your desktop. At first I was only using GeekTool to provide me with the date and time, but recently I’ve expanded the number of scripts I have to include some system [...]

However, in reality, Linux, and specifically Ubuntu, are quite easy to get used to if you are willing to give it a shot. The first thing people [...]
As promised in my Hackintosh post, here’s a guide for the Asus P5N-7A motherboard. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of the install process, but Ufdah over at insanelymac was nice enough to let me borrow some from the original install guide – head over to there if you have any problems here. I’ll also [...]
My friend recently got a HP Mini 1020NR that he said I could play with. Naturally, I immediately wanted to install Leopard on it. Some quick google searching lead me to this guide. In addition to Leopard, I wanted to keep the original Windows XP installation. In the end, the system is going to have [...]
